I'm just curious about something. As a reloader, I can reproduce the ballistics of +P factory ammo, with much lower pressures than +P, using the right powders. For example, I can push a 115 grain JHP at 1,300 fps from a Glock 26 (believe it or not) with Herco without going over 35,000 psi. Anyway, it seems to be common knowledge that a steady diet of +P ammo will wear out an auto much quicker than standard fodder. OK, that makes sense. But is it the PRESSURE of the round, or the POWER of the round that wears out a gun. Let's say I shoot a bunch of Corbon +P 115's rated at 1,250 fps. Is this any harder on my pistol than shooting my handloads that achieve the SAME EXACT VELOCITY, but with lower than SAAMI max pressures?
Thanks for any insight!
