This Model 1896 is chambered/marked 35WCF (I checked with a .35 bullet). So, is it safe to shoot .35 shells bought off the shelf? Would would be a safe load. The barrel looks original and not changed out. I know it did not come in 35WCF but it must have been re-chambered? I would like to shoot it I just want to be sure it can handle modern .35 loads.
