Anyone burn out a 30 Nosler?

I'm hearing some folks claim the 30 Nosler is burning up barrels around 600-750 rounds, but they're also using N570..
Basically there's a few guys claiming the nosler case design somehow just tears up barrels.
I'd like to hear what people are getting with normal powders like H1000 or Retumbo.
I have 300 rounds through mine and no throat erosion yet.
I know @Alex Wheeler has quite a bit of experience with the big 30s
 
I'm using 85gr Retumbo, 200 Hybrids at 3100. Only 350 rounds down the pipe but I do not have any throat erosion at all nor firecracking yet.

However, I only shoot cold bore because it's a hunting rifle.

If anyone is burning 85gr of anything at rapid fire you can bet you are going to be replacing that barrel very shortly!

I'm talking slow rate of fire
 
I typically got 500-700 rounds out of my 300 RUM's with ~89 gr Retumbo with a 230 hybrid. I wouldn't expect much more life out of a Nosler. I shoot a round every 4-5 minutes, nothing rapid fire. Barrel never gets hot. It's just the price of the big magnums.
