Impossible to answer without having the gun in hand. Iver Johnson made good, sound, utility grade firearms for many years. These were the guns of the mechanic, farmer, small shopkeeper- well made and safe to use with the correct ammo. However, we cannot see YOUR gun, and have no way to judge the condition. You should ask a competent gunsmith to examine your gun, and I WOULD avoid using steel shot in the gun- that will cause accelerated wear on the chokes unless the gun was made for steel shot- which THOSE were not.

I have an older Iver Johnson 410 shotgun from i believe the 1930's what kind of ammo can i shoot in it. I bought some shells that are for HS rated hulls can i use them or are they to powerful?
We would urge you to have a gunsmith check your shotgun, and advise you on the correct ammunition. .410 shot shells have been made in a variety of lengths- 2, 2.5, and 3 inch are the most common sizes- but simply because a shell will chamber does NOT mean that it is safe to fire.

I have had this same gun for severall years and shoot it twice a year with no problems. I would take it to a gun smith to have it looked at to make sure it is safe since you need to ask the question.
