[QUOTE="RidgeTop, post: 2585429, member: 121190"] Another factor is the initial barrel temp. A barrel after 10rds rapid fire will be more susceptible to erosion than a cold one. Also, I have heard some powder kernels wear a barrel more than others - shape, hardness. A third is the temp and duration of the flame. BTW, I took my digital IR temp to the range to watch temp heating. To my surprise, the hottest part of the barrel is about 10 to12" down from the chamber. I was using 7mmRemMag and .300Wby Mark V. I did not believe it either - try it. [/QUOTE]
