That sounds quite a bit low, but it depends on how the barrel was treated (proper break-in, load pressures, etc.). I'd say that probably points more towards the abuse the barrel took rather than average life span for a barrel in that caliber. Most "standard" rounds should be good for 5000+ rounds, often significantly more. JMHO
