[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 9148, member: 313"] DWM, I have always believed that long/heavy bullets had the potential to increase throat erosion for the reasons that you stated. However, long/heavy bullets also require you to use a lighter powder charge than a medium or light bullet in the same cartridge. Lighter charges almost always equate to less throat erosion. I haven't got a clue as to which has a greater effect on the rate of erosion; medium weight bullets w/heavy charges OR heavy bullets w/medium charges. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I shoot em' all and rebarrel when necessary. I have to admit, the "Longrange Hunting" boys sure have me shooting many more of the heavy weights than I ever did before. I use to be one of those light, fast and furious kind of guys.
