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.
