[QUOTE="canderson, post: 588414, member: 10891"] I think the amount of powder and bore size have the biggest effect on throat erosion. I have heard about people shooting out a 6.5x284 barrel in f class competition in 8-900 rounds. I shoot with a gentleman that was shooting a 260AI. His barrel went about 1000-1100 rounds before it went crazy. I personally would be more concerned about with action I had to use as opposed to which one will last longer. Back to your original question, it would probably depend on the shooter and the barrel. Theoretically, the lower pressure round might last longer. BTW, most loads that I have found to be very accurate are usally on the upper end of the cartridge capacity. [/QUOTE]
