[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1271001, member: 4566"] I would 100% say yes. I am not a metallurgist, doctor of physics or even a gunsmith. However, back in the day when we loaded lighter stuff to maximize PBR barrels didn't last as long as when we went to heavier bullets and slower powder. Some of that could be material improvements in the last 30 yrs but even recently I have seen differences between the two on a 6-284 and 22-284. Screaming lightweight stuff seems to torch a throat quicker in my experience. Back in the day a 264WM with 100gr pills would get hinky at 800 rds. Nowadays running 140s they seem to last a lot longer. Barrel materials and powders have improved a lot in the last 30 yrs. [/QUOTE]
