I use H1000 in my 7mm WSM, and hunting barrel life is easily past 1500 rounds. Competitive barrel life is about 2/3, maybe 3/4 of that amount. I shoot reasonable loads, 2900-2950 FPS with 180 Bergers. I suspect I'm around 58,000 PSI, but that's a guess.
The guys shooting SAUM's in 6.5 must have magic barrels to get what they claim, though in their defense, they are shooting game and steel, which have a bigger target area than my 5" circle at 1000 yards.

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
