I would NOT make that assumption!
IMO, I would not use any currently mfg'ed ammo in an old shotgun unless the gun were checked out, and the ammo mfg'er states that it is for vintage guns. I know some guys shoot the lite and low noise/low recoil Winchesters, and have had a specific lot pressure tested, but it makes me uneasy. The reason is, if the mfg'er changes powder, the pressure info may go out the window.
This is an opinion and its worth what you paid for it. smile
