[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1731283, member: 93138"] My recent experience in disposing of old powder given to me (differences in how far I had to step back out of the heat) leads me to think that the lower the BTU content of the powder the more favorable to barrel life it will be. If the above .30-378 example could launch those those two bullet weights to those velocities with the same charge of the same powder, then I'd agree with the concept. As soon as one bullet needs a different powder or a different charge weight, or both, the bet is off. [/QUOTE]
