Two members of the forum, darkgael and zippy 13 helped me a lot when I had a similar issue some time ago. I found their advice to be very valuable. The difference in your gun and mine is that my old gun didn't have a Damascus steel barrel.
Since you do have a Damascus steel barrel, if you haven't done this already, I recommend that you have your gun looked at by a competent gunsmith before investing any money in shells because while some Damascus barrels are safe to use with low power blackpowder loads and some can even be shot using "vintage" smokeless loads, other Damascus barrels are unsafe with ANY load and would be very dangerous for you to shoot. You need to be sure your gun is safe to shoot with whatever loads you're going to buy.
I wound up buying 100 primed Cheddite paper hulls from BPI and 10 unprimed brass hulls from Rocky Mountain Cartridge Company (RMC) and loading my own.
