First Damascus
I became involved with Parkers a few years ago and have VH in 12 & 20. I was at a favorite LGS a few weeks ago, where I found my 1st VH, and saw a beautiful GH that has been nicely restored. The undocumented story is the case was done by Turnbull and I’ve been told the colors are very correct. The barrels and bores are excellent, chokes are Mod & Full. Desire over ruled common sense and I bought it.
I have several classic doubles and have a low pressure load for them. For the Damascus I have dropped back to 16.9gr of Tite-Wad under 7/8oz of shot. Pressure should be @1200 fps at just under 7200psi. Is this a load that the more experienced Damascus shooter accept as a safe starting point? I will use it for some sporting clays& 5 Stand though I am ordering some spreader wads in hopes of opening it up as best possible.
I hope to be able to post some pictures soon.
