A good example would be the Winchester 30-30 vs the 32 Special. Ballistic-wise they are close. But, the old 32 Special would burn up a barrel in as few as 500 rounds.

Any idea what barrel life was with the .25-35? I've been kind of intetested in finding one, off and on, for years...

What shortened barrel life in the older guns like this was they were made from older softer steels.

Good point! My experience is pretty limited, but even so, I have noticed that barrel steel does vary. The 'softest' barrel I ever worked on was an early 1940s British Lee-Enfield; the 'hardest' was a Russian Saiga 5.56...
