I own and would enjoy shooting low pressure loads (RST or equivalent) in two Parker GH shotguns, one 12 and one 16 gauge. Other than the excellent information provided by Sherman Bell, has any other "objective" work been done regarding the relative strength of damascus barrels as compared to nitro steel barrels? Assume that both my guns barrels are pit free and dent free and the bores haven't been "cleaned up." I am aware that there are different qualities of damascus steel and that may make such a comparison very difficult.
