I dont see how a polyester coated lead bullets could cause ANY wear on a hardened steel barrell. It's so soft I can scratch my fingernail into it, its essential a very soft, malleable plastic. I'm not buying the glock guys story. I can't think of any monomer or polymer that could hurt steel.
That's exactly the point.
The barrel was worn out before he even tried the PC'd bullets.
He:
A) wasn't paying attention and was unaware of the barrel's condition,
or
B) had old lead deposits scoured out by the PC'd bullets, making the condition more apparent.

...and,
C) was a cheapskate that continued whining about replacing his barrel, even with over 75k rounds through it. ($7,000 worth of ammo wasn't a problem, but a $300 barrel was... )
