You have not observed a problem, I have, as well as others who shoot 5 to 6000 rounds or more annually in HP competition/practice. Some folks on the Kentucky State Rifle Team at one point shot M193 for 200 yard practice. Not commercial ammo, the real thing. Team members with Wylde chambers had issues with ejectors/extractors, and other bolt/carrier maladies. And, typically, this ammunition was about a 100 ft per second faster than the same ammo out of a NATO chamber. Shoot something like 500 rounds a week for a few weeks and you'll see the wear. For a hand-loader, no problem, or for someone shootin factory .223, no problem.
