Default Slugs in my Shotgun??

I have a Winchester Model 1897 pump shotgun made in the mid 50's.
It has the 30" barrel, takes 2 3/4" shells, and is labeled to have a fixed "FULL" choke. It has a smooth bore.
I have never shot it as it was left to me by my late Father-In-Law and prize it more than the actual value of the gun. And just don't sky bust anymore.
BUT . . . Can I safely shoot slugs in it? My research leans me toward using the Brenneke K.O.'s.
ALSO . . . I would be happy to hear some of your slug suggestions for this gun.
