I know it has been mentioned before on this forum that many of the American manufacturers at the turn of the 2oth century clearly stated that their damascus guns were just as safe with the new nitro powders as were the fluid steel built ones. Anything we do in life usually involves some sort of risk on a daily basis, from the food we eat, to the cars we drive, etc., etc. I will continue to shoot my damascus guns guns with low pressure smokeless loads because I feel they are safe for me and because I have done the research on my guns and deem them to be so. Your mileage may vary!
