[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1799636, member: 13833"] [ATTACH=full]167459[/ATTACH] There are some good reads if you research it on line. If you used a cutting torch, youve seen the flame point at the tip of the torch when adjusted. The hottest point is the tip of the inner flame when the torch is adjusted. Now take a case, any case, and draw a straight line down the angle of the shoulder from opposite sides and see where it converges in the neck or even outside the neck. A sharper shoulder with a longer neck will have this hottest point still inside the neck whereas a more acute shoulder and/shorter neck may converge outside the neck and even directly into the throat. This increases throat erosion which is the barrel killer. ex; 6.5/284 are known to have short barrel life. even though they have a 35 degree shoulder, they have a very short neck. There are other examples as well. You will notice that most modern, winning designs, run sharper shoulders and longish necks for a reason, and barrel life is only one of the advantages. You can buy it or not. [/QUOTE]
