Top Secret Covert Black Ops

[Dean Romig]

I have never been afraid of Damascus barrels. I think we all should be respectful of what can happen with any barrels that have been honed too thin - or have had dents improperly repaired - or barrels that have had the chambers lengthened to the point where the area of the beginning of the cone is dangerously thin - or where pits or occlusions in the composite barrels compromise their safety, whether Damascus or fluid steel.

I shoot some known brand 'off the shelf' loads in some of my guns where I know the barrels are stout enough and in "light game guns" I use low pressure loads.

[King Brown]

There's no conspiracy or nods and winks, my friend. I don't know a gunner who isn't shooting damascus, twist, laminate with loads around and under 7,000 psi without giving it a thought.
