I just want to remind everyone here that Sherman Bells testing was hardly up to scientific standards and,as far as I'm concerned,didn't really prove anything.
I love the look of damascus barrels and feel this was a real art form but I also recognize the inherent weakness in this type of construction.
Having said that I also believe that their prudent use with proper low pressure shells certainly minimizes the possibility of a burst and if that's your thing go for it.
