This isn't a "Which one is better" thread but a thread regarding cyclic service life.
I know steel basically has an indefinite life cycle unless there is a flaw in the casting.
I keep hearing about how aluminum only has an "X" round service life due to fatigue, but is this really a factor for all calibers?
What about polymer, given the environment which it lives (heating, cooling, flexing, cleaners, oils, ect), is there an expected service life or is it considered indefinite?
