dennis you are right that any decent gun will kill a turkey at 40 yards..i shoot damascus barrels the year round i ve killed a lots of turkeys with these old damascus barrels and there has always been high brass shells used in these guns even some magnum loads ..i ve used parkers lefevers colt remington and lc smith with these high brass shells for the last 50 years with no problem s..the old 10 parker 3 frame has shot several magnum 3 1/2 inch 12 ga turkey loads in it.. i think damascus barrels that are good and sound are safe as steel barrels ..the only bad thing about damacus barrels is that since bell done that test and a lot of peoiple found out they could shoot these old guns with other than fluid steel barrels is that its driven the prices of these old gun away up... charlie
