Another reason for the prejudice against Damascus seems to have been the introduction towards the end of the 19th century of dense nitro powders, loaded by weight rather than bulk powders which were loaded by volume.
Those who did not bother to read the instructions and used their existing powder measures blew up their guns both steel and Damascus.
As a high proportion of the guns then around were Damascus those barrels were tarred with some of the blame.
