I do think barrel wear will be a consideration for sure. I’m at less than 200 rounds on my .300 Weatherby and about 120 rounds on one 7mm and over 500 in another 7mm Wby Mag. I plan to keep a shot log on it from the start. On my others, I keep records of ammo loaded which approximates rounds fired plus or minus one or two boxes of factory loads. I fired exactly 5 factory loads in my .300 Weatherby and zero in one of my 7mm’s. The rounds fired are approximate since I’m not at home with access to my logs. Happy Trails
