    I think what they are getting at is that if you are shooting enough to wear out barrels, the ammo at $2 plus a round for 2000 plus rounds is the expensive part and a barrel at $800 is cheap by comparison

    True, i get what your saying. But I'd look at as instead buy something that is cheaper to shoot and easier on barrels and use the extra money to get an extra 400-800 shots with the money.
    I'd consider anything that went bad after 2500 rounds to be a barrel burner, and anything under 1500 to be insane.

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
