The problem isn't really the barrel or action taking damage. The problem is in most cases, 100 plus year old wood that can ve very dry or oil soaked and punk. Snotty shells have a tendency to beat up both the stock and shooter. The shooter can get over it, the stock can't. Cracking, splitting, chipping and breaking cost $$. Better to reload 1 oz or less and under 1200 FPS and build in a safety net for your stock than to lay waste and have to dole out $2K+.
