Bimetal jacket on the bullet, nothing to do with steel casing. Don't shoot any m193 or ss109 as those are bimetal as well.

Do you have any links that prove accelerated wear? All I can find is a bunch of speculation, but I'm at work and filters suck.

It will wear but you will be upwards of 15-20k rounds to notice accuracy issues most likely. At that point, just spend $250 on a barrel and swap it.
