A good local gunsmith will tell you if its OK for modern powder.
Just a suggestion here. And NO guarantees.

  1. Find a max load for that gun. (21/2" case)
  2. Load up a cartridge same max load + 1 grain powder
  3. Take out in field, wrap up in an old blanket (very effective at stopping shrapnel)
  4. Stake / tie down
  5. Fire using long string and hiding behind BIG tree. LOL
  6. Check for damage.
