I used Bismuth factory loads in the Aubrey last Fall. I don't think they are particularly low pressure. Remember my barrels are steel and extremely stout and my wood is all good. Personally I do not shoot anything but low pressure or black powder in my damascus guns. However most of them are 'bird guns' and don't have the massive barrels the 'fowlers' have. Make your own decision about your gun or if you'd rather, get advice from someone knowledgeable who can personnaly inspect your barrels...Geo
