By way of comparison, Does the long neck of the .25'06, or .270Win lead to longer throat life ?
Does the shallow tapered shoulder of these cases detract ? ( 17.5 degrees vs 30 or 40 degrees )
IOW : What case design features lead to longer throat life in high capacity -- smaller bore cartridges
338 - I feel certain by your post that you are aware that the 243 with its sloping shoulder angle AND short neck contributes to throat erosion.
*****I am NO expert by any stretch of the imagination. I've read about this over a long period of years.
You are correct too about rapid firing of long strings >> makes perfect sense.
I’ve read it’s not overbore if you can find slow enough powder.

........... I'd like to
[/b]hear from some of our TECHees on that.[b] I'm interested.
I also hear that a longer barrel comes into play.
