    Does it effect wear and total life of the barrel? I know that's not the OP of the thread but i'm looking at replacing my barrel which is 1/8 with a 1/7.5 or 7 to be able to stabilise the longer projectiles

    I don't think anyone could definitively say for sure. But I doubt it would be much if it did
