lloyd, with all due respect...

living in fear of doing something stupid is learned by experience...

experience also teaches us not to take unneccesary risks, just because we can...

and thank you for your concern that shooting smokeless loads in old guns increases the possibility of damage to the old wood and metal parts...

but then that assumes that shooters value old guns and their preservation...

more so than massaging ones ego...
