A couple of rules

More pressure = more wear period.

Hot barrels eat bores even worse - My rule that I pick up from old guys who knew more years ago - is if the barrel metal is already past 180 degrees I stop shooting.. But some guys will keep firing, and firing, and firing... and eat the bore.

When you pass 180 degree’s - if you touch the barrel, your reaction will be to yank your hand away before it gets burned... so if you can’t grab the barrel - stop shooting the thing.
