If you want to use the powder capacity as an excuse,it punches a big hole in your theory,since the WSM case holds more powder than the 30-06 case.That would make your example totally meaningless.

We will have to wait and see how long the wsm barrel last verisus the 50 year old 30-06 barrels last? LOL
