Re: 7mm WSM
I don't load mine hard and get nearly the velocity as others. After 650 rounds through it, it looks nearly new. Again, I'm not pushing it either with the loads or on the range. Accuracy is running .5-1 MOA in mine. FWIW, I don't push my .280 Ackley that hard either. It runs about 100-150 fps behind the 7 WSM on about 4-5 gr. less powder. Get a 1-9" twist minimum, load 180 Bergers or JLK's and let the bullet do the work.
