[QUOTE="Naymola, post: 2585562, member: 3843"] Wow, you guys are making this topic way too complicated for sure. It's simply BTU's generated at the case mouth, where the heat generated is the greatest. Otherwise like the man said, the muzzle would have more wear than the throat. Keep firing successive bullets one right after another for 20 rounds or so and you'll have a throat so hot the lands have softened to where the bullets are eroding them. I ruined a very accurate .233 Rem at a competitve varmint hunting club shoot. Hart Varmint contour, stainless steel, 1:14 twist, 50 grain V Max, at 3500 fps. Who could hit a 6"gong at 200 yards, sitting on a stool with only extending shooting sticks, shoot reload shoot, the most in one minute, took the prize. I hit it 18 times with a bolt gun. That gun would easily shoot 1/2" groups at 200 yards. Afterwards, groups opened up to over 1-1/2". I'd bet the farm, if a guy shot a 30-06 the same way it would be toast as well. I'd never be that stupid again. [/QUOTE]
