There is plenty of evidence that smokeless powders should not be used in Damascus barreled guns. Why, then, do many Parker gun owners use RST smokeless loads in their vintage Parkers when they were intended to be shot only with black powder? It does not matter if the gun was built with Damascus or Vulkan steel. If the gun was designed for BP, I say, shoot BP. The results are actually quite good.
