First I want to thank all the gentlemen who took the time to answer my first question regarding my LeFever. I am new to this site and have read many posts answered by experienced and deeply knowledgable people. I has seen ads about low pressure shells but had not really looked into them. Now I have a case of 16's on the way as they're not significantly more expensive than over-the-counters; just cheap insurance.

I have often passed on damascus barrelled guns as not practical shooters. I have read debates and articles both ways on nitro loads in damascus guns in good condition. As a teenager I used to regularly shoot a 10 ga. double damascus gun proofed for nitro with some heavy loads.

Are the low pressure shells, i.e. RST, suitable for use in damascus barrels? I don't shoot enough to justify a loading set up so I'm not interested in making my own black powder shells. And I'm not interested in shooting a 10 ga. anymore either.
