[QUOTE="Guest, post: 32842"] Higher pressure equates to higher temperatures, this and the combination of time ( and possible some corrosive material in the burn residue) is what erodes barrel throats. The temperatures are higher than the melting point of the metal in the barrel, but for a very short period of time. Never-the-less some of the throat melts away.
