I Have shot Damascus barreled guns for 25 yrs or so without any problem. I use them for both target and hunting situations. I reload mostly using the old style AA hull/1 oz shot/Rem 209 Primers/Claybuster wads. I would also ad I shoot 2 3/4 in shells 2 1/2 chambers and again no problems.

P.S

The low pressure loads preform so well I use them in the steel barreled guns also ... makes life easier. Dennis
