Can a Newhaven 283 .410 Shotgun Handle .30-06 Ammunition?

Question
I have heard that this gun can handle a 30.6 load as well as the 410.  Is this accurate?

Answer
 Hello Brian,

I would not shoot a .30-06 load from a .410 shotgun unless the manufacture recommended it by stamping the ammo on the barrel. You would be taking to many risk in finding out if the gun/barrel would stand up to the pressure from a .30-06 round.
