The pressure curves for black and smokeless loaded for the load/speed have been shown to be very much the same. Looking at past data published here I think it is very possible to load for a Damascus using smokeless that has virtually the same pressure curve as black. 5k or 6k pressure at the same place is the same regardless of the powder.

"A man convinced against his will,
is of the same opinion still."
Ed proves that quote over and over.
