I just bought a 1906, 22 cal pump , the bore looks good , but I am concerned with the pressures of modern ammo. Would it be smart to start with a 22 short ?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Probably just as safe as any other pump. Certainly standard speed wouldn't hurt anything, and likely not even the "regular" high speed ammo.

Generally, the place where one can create problems is with early semi-autos, where the springs were designed for standard speed ammo. My first-series Colt Woodsman pistol, e.g.
 
My Model 1906 made in 1912 is S/L/LR, and has eaten anything I have fired including Super Colibri's, and CCI Hyper-Velocity...I do have to 'smartly' work the action to effectively eject the spent CCI's due to their case length...
