Well worded ^^^^^^
So hotter/more gas release due to earlier release, between the barrel cylinder gap as the bullet makes the jump faster and earlier than a heavier bullet. This causes the flame cutting of the top strap.
And, the light bullet moving faster than a heavier bullet, slams into the forcing cone and engages the rifling at higher speed, causing the erosion over time. Correct?
So it's just that lighter bullets can be loaded hotter than heavier bullets due to increased case capacity.
So, if you are using factory loaded ammo, you should be fine as most modern factory ammo is not very hot. If you are rolling your own, just don't load them to max preasures, and it should never be a problem.
The lighter the bullet, the easier it is to get it to start moving, and the more powder can be put in the case without exceeding the pressure specification
