Navarro, The problem with shooting modern high pressure loads in an antique shotgun are many.
They beat all the metal clearances apart.
They pound antique wood to splinters.
They pound the shooter with recoil.
And, God forbid, they split barrels right about where the left forearm extends to point the gun, with terrible results.
Sure, people do it frequently without effect, but when it happens, it's always bad.
You won't hit any clay target harder, or knock down a clanger any more effectively with heavy loads.
Drew could easily post pictures of the injuries people sustain, but I'd ask he doesn't.
It's better all around if people just use the correct ammunition, enjoy themselves, and preserve their vintage firearms.
I'm glad you are enjoying your new hobby.
