Damascus barrels share about the same minimum wall thickness preference as the fluid steel barrels of the day and the commonly accepted MWT for both is about .025” for the front half of the barrel and about .090” or better at the juncture of the chamber and the forcing cones.
Others’ opinions may vary of course.
Preferred pressures are usually below 8,500 psi but I prefer even less for my purposes.
