Those were my guesses as well, however the validity of extreme pressure claims seem to pertain to the specifics of the loads used. Thus I was asking for more clarity. If I could shoot steel from my damascus 10 ga with short chambers, I probably would. But, there are a lot of factors involved, not the least of which is complete unavailability of suitable factory ammo. With all due respect to Brad, that post read to the opposite extreme of the "damascus is junk" nonsense but with similar (possibly innaccurate) anectdotal information which generally devalues the position that Damascus barrels can be safe to shoot with smokeless loads of safe pressures in safe guns blah blah blah
