thanks for the repost -- some of the material is pretty funny:

1. Experts on Guns and Shooting, George Teasdale Teasdale-Buckell, 1900

On the subject of steel v. Damascus, Mr Stephen Grant is very clear, and much prefers Damascus for hard working guns. He related an anecdote of one of his patrons, whose keeper stupidly put a 12-bore cartridge into his master’s gun without knowing that he had previously inserted a 20-case, which had stuffed up the barrel. Fortunately, no burst occurred, but a big bulge, which, however, Mr Grant hammered down, and the gun is now as good as ever.

I stood next to a guy who blew up an off brand gun with reloads There was quite the kaboom. The barrel flew about 20 yards behind him and landed up in a tree. Took us a while to find it because we were searching downrange. Amazingly, no injuries. He had been given reloading equipment by someone moving away. He had a press, some components, some powder in a plain brown bag, no scale so he used a powder bushing his friend recommended.
