I have one of these, although I've never shot it. Belonged to my grandfather and dates from approx. 1914 or 1915 (the model of 1908 was made in 4 variations, from 1909 to 1942).I acquired this H&R model 1908 16ga shotgun. What type shells can I safely use in it. Do I need low pressure loads? Will a target load work? I don't want to have a accident.

I agree! Most all ive seen of this vintage have their finish worn to a grey patina. An impressive amount of case hardening has survived the past century+. Keep that baby oiled and dry.By the way, the case hardening coloration looks great for a firearm of that vintage!
