I used to worry about this stuff, but decided if my barrels (Damascus or other wise) met spec and were not pitted, that I could safely shoot them with both handloads and commercial ammo...

I shoot my only Damascus barreld gun (1897 Linder Daly 20 G) with standard Winchester AA 7/8 oz, cartridges. The barrels are MWT of 30 thousandths.
