I just re-read some of Sherman Bell's work with damascus tubes in Double Gun. I'll dig it out so that I can quote from it. He says that it is just fine to shoot damascus guns and he should know. He has tested them extensively. He also writes that BP loads produce more pressure than most people think. I'm not going to go out on a limb and make any outlandish statements about the relative strength of damascus barrels. I quote from Double Gun later.
