[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2586205, member: 117774"] The lighter bullet will offer less backpressure and won't be in contact with the barrel as long so therefore I think will offer less barrel wear. The longer bullet is not significantly slower enough to make up for the additional contact area and friction build. Also the additional backpressure of the longer and slower bullet will allow the powder to stay at peak pressure in a shorter pressure container making the heat/pressure more severe. [/QUOTE]
