Vaughn: Welcome to the Sixteen Gauge Sterlingworth Society Sounds like a great deal-'shooter' 16g Sterlys are now going for $1500-$2000.
Please see this thread re: chamber length
http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1983
Bottom line: It's likely to have 2 9/16" chambers and I would have them lengthened.

You have lots of options for short/low pressure loads:

B&P offers mostly 67mm hunting and target loads designed for 65mm guns http://www.bandpusa.com/ 800-683-0464

And a light 16 is delightful with 7/8 oz or even 3/4 oz handloads-you might consider joining the 16g Low pressure reloading group http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=921

BTW: it's likely to be choked modified/full-no reason not to open the chokes and make the gun right for you. And it's probably well past due for a good check and clean by a doublegun specialist smith. Let us know what part of the country you're from, and we might be able to recomend someone near you.

P.S. Did you reverse the 6 and the 4 on that serial #? There were no 346XXX 16g Sterlys.
