Must you shoot black powder shells only in a Charles Daly 12 gauge shotgun with fine Damascus barrels?
Yes, definitely, always, without exception. Pyrodex or similar powders which equal the characteristics of black powder may be used. Significant danger to the shooter and the gun will result if smokeless powder is used. Note many folks who know that their Damascus barrels are sound shoot modern shells through their guns. I have shot thousands of Winchester AA Feathers through my Damascus Daly. These shells have lower pressure that many black powder rounds.With a gun this fine you should join the DoubleGun BBS a place where old guns are talked about every day and shot alot. Also check out the German Gun Collectors website. Never shoot every day wally world shells but modern low pressure shell can be found without much trouble.
Can you shoot regular 38 shells in your 38 special?
Never fire ammunition in your weapon that it is not chambered for.
Can you put black powder in modern shells to shoot through old shotguns?
You can, but you should be careful about the chamber length. For example, the most common length for modern 12 gauge shells is 2 3/4", but older shotguns may only be chambered for 2 1/2" shells. So long as the chamber length is ok, it is certainly possible to load and shoot black powder with modern hulls. Appropriately sized plastic wads can also be used (I've used Winchester red AA wads with AA hulls, 80 grains of powder, 1 oz. of shot). You do tend to get some stringy plastic residue that has to be cleaned out of the bore. I've actually switched to using brass shotshells for black powder now.
