This is one of those issues that will never get a clear definition.
I belong to a gun club that specializes in bullseye competition and M41's are quite common. Everyone has a different view on high velocity vs standard velocity in terms of grouping and wear and tear on the M41.
We have done some testing on a Ransom rest to see if groupings are better with SV. The answer is YES. However....the differences are not that large. If you are shooting a pistol one handed at 50 yards, it is not going to affect your scores!! Your hold and trigger control is far more important than your ammo. If, on the other hand you are shooting ultra precision rifles prone or from a bench...yes it will matter.
Concerning wear and tear.....It makes sense that there will be more if you use HV. However, will it make a difference? I haven't seen any evidence of this in my gun. I shoot Blazers out of mine and have been doing so for years. Why? Cause they are (used to be) the cheapest around and, they worked well (41's are infamous for being finicky). I did put a stronger recoil spring (7.5 lb) just to be on the safe side.
Hey!....I'm sure this debate will continue forever.....Just offering my experience.
