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...

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...
