[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 152701, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] So what makes this group of cartidges susceptable to such wear? Is is related to the amount of powder burnt to get to 3,000fps and beyond or just a combination of things that lead to an early death of the barrel? Mule [/ QUOTE ] It's the relationship of the case capacity to the bore size. If you take a large case like the H&H and put it in a small bore, like a .270 or 6.5... the bore will burn out very fast. The same case size and same amount of powder in a large bore size like a .375, or .458, and the barrel throat will last forever. There are some ridiculous wild cats like the .22x284 and .22-'06 whose barrel lives are measured in 100 to 200 rounds. You pays your money and you takes your choice... . [/QUOTE]
