Would this be suitable for an old single-shot Diamond Arms 16 gauge break-open shotgun (from my father in law) manufactured in the early 1900s? I used some Aguila 16 gauge high-velocity 1B buckshot, and it blew the barrel open! Thanks. Love your company!

Thanks for reaching out Alan! You're sure lucky to have an antique Iver Johnson! I have to preface by emphasizing that I don't know what condition your shotgun is in, so I can't definitively recommend ammunition that would work for it. You understand I just can't be on the hook for damaging an antique, I'm sure. That said, you certainly don't want to fire high-velocity ammo, as that will produce too much chamber pressure for your old antique to manage. Of the 16 Gauge ammo we have got in stock, I'm most confident recommending this: luckygunner.com/16-gauge-2-3-4-1-oz-7-5-shot-fiocchi-game-target-25-rounds Between its lighter one-ounce shot column and slower 1,165 fps muzzle velocity, it's not poised to generate more chamber pressure than your shotgun was designed to handle.
