I'll presume you're being facetious.
Yes, every owner of a Damascus barreled gun, Parker's in this discussion, should be informed of the loads their guns were proofed with, but I don't think we should ever presume to tell them to shoot anything but appropriate loads in their guns because WE have no idea of the condition of the stocks or the barrels of their guns. I would prefer they err on the side of caution rather than throw caution to the wind and shoot "off the shelf" ammo that will fit in their chambers.
I really see no point in discussing this issue further so I'll bow out.
