[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1577732, member: 12995"] What really causes a barrel to wear out is simple. Even though the copper jacket is much softer than the steel barrel, you add velocity, heat, and friction into the mix, and that's what eventually wears out a barrel's bore. Direct heat and flame is what destroys a throat...Eventually fire-cracking and smoothing it to a point that it's out of shape and no longer holding the bullet properly as it's entering the rifling.
