How can somebody still not know what pressure loads are safe for a Damascus gun these days?
Anytime you shoot a Damascus barreled gun 100 years plus old you're putting your life or limb at risk....
Some may get some hidden adrenaline rush while others may harbor deep suicidal thoughts ?
Yes, just like going to bed there is remote possibility of not waking up again.
The goal is good risk management. When shooting old guns they should be in sound mechanical order and low pressure ammo must be used at all times. We are lucky to have company like RST to provide such shell for us.
JOe, you just have to share state of mind with your ancestors when they stood in row opposite of men shooting lead round balls into their ranks. This was when war was chivalrous where poor civilians were largely spared. How do you suppose they could go on from day to day? Faith in God. That is how.
