Wouldn't it be more fun and cheaper to go spend about $300-500 on reloading equipment and learn how to reload properly for this gun as is?
I've had damascus guns I've been shooting smokeless loads out of for over 5 yrs. My pet load runs around 6500 psi with a 1 ounce payload at 1150 fps, uses a relatively moderate burning powder that burns clean and doesn't have any cold weather ignition problems. I've used it on wild roosters with #5 shot, wild quail with #7.5 shot, and clays with #7.5 shot. I've never felt handicapped with this load, compared to a "modern" gun.
