Seen .308's loaded to typical levels (not moderate, not hot) last 2 to 4 times longer than that.
Yes and no. It all depends on a few things. How many shots in each string? How hot are they loaded? What is the projectile weight? What is the barrel made of? Chromemoly barrels have a longer life but 416r stainless is more accurate. Is it button rifled or cut rifled? I've seen 6.5 creedmoor shot out in 800 rounds and others last 2000. Also what is your acceptable level of accuracy? When groups open up and cleaning doesnt fix it its shot out to me.
