That is absolutely not the truth.....

About 20 years ago I ran across a rifle that I just had to have, Remington 40x in 222......that barrel was completely toast. I put a new barrel on it and have been happy to this day. Lapua brass,50gr Blitzkings and VVN130 powder

I dont know how many rounds it takes, but Im working on finding out. I can burn a .223 in about 9000 rounds. I currently have a .222 with that many through it and it still shoots virtually anything into tiny little groups, and many loads to same POI.No signs of quitting, or even burping.
