Think of your brass, powder, bore like a cutting torch.

lots of gas = heat, small bore = erosion.

Large bore, less gas = less heat, less erosion.

500 rounds one right after the other = heat and more erosion.

If the barrel is too hot to touch then your getting it to hot, no matter what cutting torch your using.
