Bill, I have shoot literally 1000's of rounds of Federal Target Loads (12 GA., 2 3/4 DR EQ, 1 OZ) through my 1904 Grade 3 with fluid barrels. I did have it glassed when I eventually developed a chip. Should have taken preventive precautions. I have also fired 100's of these shells through my OE with chain Damascus barrels, however, they were checked by a qualified gunsmith and determined to meet or exceed the min wall thickness requirements. Do your due diligence and things should be fine.
