I purchased a damascus L.C. Smith about ten years ago. I was banned from shooting it at my sportsmans's club. "Damascus guns aren't safe". I had it proofed at the Birmingham Proof House and have a really cool certificate to show for it!
Anyway, I shoot it regularly with LP ammunition. The fellow I bought it from said he'd shot "all kinds of ammunition through it", and it still passed proof!
Wouldn't go throught he hassle of having another one proofed though. Don't ask, don't tell is my policy. I've never been questioned when shooting it at other facilities.
