If I remember Shermans black powder pressure curves it seems that black powder might be more likely than smokeless to blow a damascus bbl. Seems it reached peak pressure sooner than smokeless did. Am I remembering correctly??

I don't no about the black powder pressure question. But I do know first hand when
going above the 3 dram level of black powder, the recoil gets very intense.
I got very concerned about the beating the stock was taking.

The first thing to remember is that black powder is an explosive and smokeless is a propellant. Black powder invites a much more robust pressure curve as Mike state's.

many years ago when at DuPONT, one of the older managers told me that exact same thing ............ then he added "but its important to remember it can propell you into little pieces"
