Have been loading and shooting low pressure smokeless as a substitute for black, for about 35 years. All digits and optics and other extremities still intact. No evidence of pressure issues with
any damascus guns. Only problem is that now that the "dangerous damascus myth" has been debunked, it is no longer possible to buy all those best quality "unsafe" British guns at bargain prices anymore. Great ride while it lasted.... As Larry says, many thanks to the ammunition makers who managed to convince a couple generations of shooters to condemn damascus guns. Worked for me...


Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
