What is safe to....

[nightwolf0215]

I just got a very decent condition 30" barrel full choke Winchester 1897. Everything looks good, and it seems to cycle just fine. Bore looks shiny and straight. Holding my first shotgun in hand, I wonder what type of ammo I can shoot through it (with it being 100 year old)? Most ranges around my place only allow slugs. Can it handle it?

Thank you for the helpful tip

I would not shoot slugs, or steel shot of any kind.
Low base lead should be safe.
Check to see if it will shoot 2 3/4" shells also.
