[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 510581, member: 2736"] +1 Velocity and the amount of powder have a direct bearing on throat erosion. The more of eather/ both the more erosion. add temperature and you accelerate the process. Like Broz, I have not noticed a drop in accuracy in My 30/378 with my loads (Maximum) but I am at around 450 rounds down the tube. I load this rifle hard (The reason I built it) and don't expect great barrel life, but it is a hunting rifle and if I get even 1000 rounds before accuracy falls of I will be happy. Yours should last much longer. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
