Buy the Vintager loads from RST, they were designed for older guns needing lower pressure. Hopefully, you have had the gun checked by a qualified gunsmith who knows these old guns (not some Glock parts changer) and he's given it the go ahead.
Even without Damascus or Twist barrels, they ARE over 100 years old and thus have been subjected to wear and tear and need to be checked. No different than finding a Model T in a barn - you're not going to just put some gas in it and start it up immediately before checking everything out.
Good luck and have fun with it.
