I also don't listen to all the hard on barrels stuff, man some have heard it said that a 264 wm is extremely hard on barrels, 500 rounds is tops, I call BS!!
My 7mm AM has a capacity of 122 gr of H2o, I now have 400 rounds downrange, during load developement in 2006 I settled on a 160 accubond driven at 3575 fps by a 110 gr charge of WC872, the bullet was jammed .006 into the rifleing, once in a while while unloading a live round the bullet stuck in the rifleing and was pulled from the cartridge, I've never changed the setting on my seater die and to this day I still on occasion "pull" a bullet unloading a live round, so how bad is my throat eroding?
Lets face it, you can torch a throat in a day if ya want, take care of it and even if its life is only 1000 rounds, thats a lifetime of hunting, agreed? If ya wanna shoot 1k alot just to shoot get a fast twist 223, if ya want accuracy and energy down yonder have a good-un built!

I just know when I have had my 300RUM's rebarreled, and you finally get to know your gun, things start changing.
