[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 1543873, member: 108323"] Limiting throat erosion is influenced more by peak pressure/temperature and that is a function of load more than heat of explosion. Double base powders (those containing nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin) do typically have higher HOE and higher temperature. Faster burning powders will also typically eroe throats faster. But the best way to extend barrel life is to stay away from max loads, especially if you don’t need the velocity. Beyond that, don’t overheat the barrel. [/QUOTE]
