Just wandering how many shots can I expect to get out of my new SS 700 rem in a 300 RUM Befor replacement is called for? My loads will be fortight groups not speed.

I burned out one barrel in little over 1000 rounds. I had throat errosion and bad copper fouling. I had a Kreiger barrel put back on it, and little over 450 rounds, I had heat cracks in the neck of the chamber. But I have a feeling this was caused by a shotty job from my gunsmith. We viewed both barrels with a hawkeye bore scope. And on my first 300RUM, I ruined a barrel by firelapping it.
