This is an interesting thread. Perhaps it would be helpful for the posters to note the vintage of the dg they own and shoot. This information may be most helpful; eg. older more delicate dg versus new more robust dg. I shoot and hunt with my newer dg, and have no problem with mono nor any other kind of bullets. I am getting the impression from this thread that the older English dg require a lot of tlc and caution regarding bullet content and powder.

Nope. As I've said elsewhere on this board, I've seen new doubles damaged with monos and vintage guns used with monos without damage. Vintage has nothing to do with it. In my observation good quality "vintage" guns hold up to shooting volume as well or better than many of the new guns. "Delicate" my ass.
