I would only shoot this firearm with the owner present.
It’s like people who ask permission to hunt or fish on private property without a lease agreement. My answer is you may do so as my guest, while I accompany you. That is the nature of sport in my experience in the South.
My brother’s wife divorced him because he refused to buy her diamond earrings using funds from an accident insurance settlement.
He used the funds for follow-on medical care later in life.
My chronograph is used to benchmark against standard loads (a 45-grain bullet in .22 Hornet at 2400 feet per second, for instance).
Its use is especially important to me with old rifles, trapdoor Springfield and military rifles, when my goal is to match their standard loadings.
This POW knowledge would make an interesting thread in its own right. My dad was a USDA forester in middle Georgia. It is my understanding that German prisoners worked under his supervision, sourcing timber for the military.

My dad was lucky with cards, loved horses, dogs, and women. He was fortunate to have assembled a working selection of field arms by the time I came along.
You would not be disappointed with a Remington 550-1.
My dad’s period pieces were extensive. His transition Winchester Model 70s in .22 Hornet are still in the family. Many were lost and/or destroyed by fire.
