I believe, condering the gun was made in 1944, it probably is pressure rated at 850 kgs.
If I was to shoot steel, I would use 2 3/4" at not over 1350 fps; no more than 1 oz.; no larger than #4 and chokes opened up to no tighter than true modified. True means actual bore size compared to the muzzle; .019 difference for modified.
My son in law has shot steel at 1450 fps in his 1985 Uggie 30, choked at sk1 and sk2 with no problems. It is rated at 900 kgs.
I know one guy who shoots regular Hevi Shot out of his late 80s Uggie choked sk1/sk2. I told him he was pushing the envelope but he didn't seem concerned.
