They say low recoil, NOT low pressure ed. Two different things. Best, Ted

I would say on something like a Fox Sterly with short chambers those would be just fine. Wouldn't shoot them on a short chambered damascus barreled gun.

Shooting a Damascus barreled gun, use black powder only, using smokeless powder shells is like putting your hand in a cage with a ''Snake''',
you are going to get ''Bit'.

Dirty Harry Keep it up. I like having the market price of Damascus barreled guns driven down by fearmongering.

harry, depending on the barrels, you are correct...not worth risk shooting smokeless in damascus...unless nitro proofed...and then maybe, with fingers crossed and eyes shut...
however, high recoil will often crack old wood, regardless of type of barrel steel...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

back, fear mongering or common since...
