I have only been around two blow ups on a trap field and I have been shooting for 7 years and both were re loads and of course modern guns. When I was a kid one of the few family guns was a Damascus S/S not sure maker but my grandfather's gun, probably a low end Birmingham gun and we shot everything in it from super X high brass dove loads to buck shot which I would bet was 3 drams. Never had a problem but sounds like we were way above what we should have had in it.
