[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 575643, member: 30902"] How you shoot, how much you shoot, and particularly how fast you shoot at any give time has a far greater impact on throat erosion than anything else. The only component difference between the STW, WBY, and 7Rem is the bass and there has never been any shortage of brass available for 20 plus years. Also a slower burning powder like H-1000 makes a bid difference in how much heat gets applied to the first few inches of the bore. I've been shooting the same barrel in my 7mm STW since 1990 and I'm just now to the point of considering rebarreling and not because it doesn't shoot well any more, but because I'm thinking of turning it into a dedicated long range only rig with a longer barrel. Barrel life simply isn't a major issue for most hunters because they'll never shoot one enough in a lifetime to burn one out. [/QUOTE]
