The later shells are harder metal. There's not as much of a "grace period" as with lead/copper. Harder shells won't keep wearing down like the softer copper/lead when there's repeated journal contact, they'll just gall and seize up. I believe that's why we don't see as many 702/703 bearings worn down as much as the 088/089 tend to.
