Bronze distributor shaft gear wear

I’d still like to know what happens using a steel billet cam and a standard gear…….actual experience not just what everyone says
That’s going to take finding someone who disregards the advice of cam manufacturers among others about what gear to run with their billet cores, right? Most say use bronze and/or a melonized, that a standard gear should not be used. Wear.
For what a billet cam costs these days who would chance it? Why? There’s too much information and accessible knowledge out there explaining the reasons.

The articles discussing this are plenty:
