9000 lbs. seems kind of high for damascus. I have been loading 7/8 oz. with 17.5 grains of Clay Dot with a clay buster 4100 wad. According to Alliant's web site it's rated at 5800 lbs. 1150 fps. Been using this for two years now. The load doesn't have much recoil and as mentioned the pressure is well within the ball park for use in damascus barrels.
