I wonder if e shot is ok for Damascus?
I've done all I'm going to do to accommodate steel. I have a G and a D 12, a D 10 with cylinder and cylinder sleeves. Fast steel works great in all of them. Lead works in the guns with 30 and 32 inch barrels. The 28 inch one patterns too loose so I put in thin wall Briley chokes.
I'm not touching any of my other guns and I can only hope I don't have to pay a fortune for some space age alloy to shoot them. Hunting, OK, but I resist having to do it for sporting clays.
What all states should contemplate is exempting historic guns from having to use non toxic shot much like classic cars are exempted from smog devices. I'm the only guy in my duck club that shoots a side by side. Everyone else shoots a auto. Our percentage is pretty minimal. The environment could tolerate us.
