More than likely your 525 could fire them. BUT NOT WITHOUT ALTERATIONS to the chamber by a competent smith. Without lengthening the forcing cone as RR suggested your shotgun's area ahead of the existing chamber will exhibit a spike in pressure from the mouth of the longer shell/wad/shot charge passing through. It could in all likelyhood cause you at the very least a barrel bulge.
