Older shotshell boxes did contain a printed warning, not to use in Damascus/Twist barrels. Most NEW shotshell boxes omit this prior warning language....
"We have been warned against using Pattern Welded barrels by Industry experts since SAAMI passed this resolution March 26, 1937:
“That an appropriate warning label be placed on all boxes containing smokeless powder shells, cautioning the consumer against using them in short chambered guns and also in guns with Damascus barrels and guns not in first-class condition.”
“These shells must not be used in guns with Damascus or Twist Steel barrels” warning appeared on shell boxes shortly thereafter."
