Will a all copper bullet like banes TSX round wear your barrels faster? I know its stated the M855A1 wore the barrel down much faster but was that more to do with the excessive pressure created or the full copper core( was stated by LWRC rep all copper was the reason from a compression stand point)? According to Barnes they cause no excessive wear but it might be due to their design also with less bullet touching from their machined bands for accuracy. Maybe even the denseness difference between the different coppers used also?
