I've shot thousands of rounds of moderate pressure factory shells through my damascus guns, as have other major collectors I know. One of the most significant collectors buys shells from Wal-Mart and blasts away with high grade guns, yet he won't say anything here because of adverse comments it would raise. Others buy Win AA Lights and Ultra Lights by the multi case lot, one even buys a pallet every year and fires away through a damascus AH.

But, over the years, I have seen several guns rupture. All have been fluid steel barreled. Proof positive that you need to be careful in shooting fluid steel guns.
Hummm… have we lost our “you know what’s” that bad?

An is it true question: I remember being either told or reading that a shotshell
will not rupture or blowup if it went off and or was set off outside of a gun barrel.
(NO this one I am not going to try no how)
