[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 127785, member: 6452"] Do lighter loads of a faster burning powder have less effect on barrel life than max loads of slower powder? I like to load light practice/plinking loads in my 270. Currently I am using H4831 behind 110gr VMax. I just bought a.308 and hope to get good results with Varget in it. On Hodgdon's site Varget is one of the faster powders they suggest for the 270. For a 130gr Max loads are: 60gr. H4831 46gr. Varget That's 25% less powder with the Varget and slightly lower pressure. What has the biggest effect on burning up a barrel velocity, pressure, or amount of powder burned? Like most things it is probably a combination of all. Thanks [/QUOTE]
