[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1749781, member: 10291"] I don’t think temperature stability plays a role in barrel life. Pressure/burn characteristics do. While it didn’t appear to be substantiated, I have recently seen a few posts speculating/experiencing shorter barrel life using N565/N570. I have thought about this myself when using the “high energy” powders like N565 and R26. While the ‘very noticeable” increased velocity compared to my typically used slow-burners(ie.H1000 and Retumbo) is appreciated, it probably doesn’t come for free. If a material loss of barrel life was in fact the case, I would question the trade off. [/QUOTE]
