7 PRC barrel life? and?

So I will go at it from this direction I short the barrel out of 2 28 noslers. First one I was not nice to it gave up at 600 rounds second one I was much nicer too it went at a little over 900. We are about to complete our 3 7 prc barrel. The one that's fully up and running has only seen factory ammo thus far. We are 86 rounds in and seeing 2840 with horrible es and sd from factory 180 eldm. The 175's were at 2970 to 2990. The clicker issue any good smith should be able to remedy this. I know mine has done it with the 6.5 prc and I asked him to do it on the 7's as well. Dies will be here this week to start handloading the 175 elites and 180 hybrid Berger's. Hers is a 24 inch barrel both mine and my dads are 22. I expect all to go to that 1k round mark. Don't have much more data for you other than it's really fun to shoot in a 9lb rifle. I have a 7 max that I absolutely love. Owned that gun a year and run it hard I'm at 678 rounds down that primarily running 190 class bullets. The 7 prc fit her needs so when I get off work on Thursday I don't have to handload at 1 am then get up at 5 to go to the range on Friday. The 7 prc was built for a purpose rifle for her to hunt deer and elk from 0-800 and still be shootable at the range and get good quality practice while not worrying about excessive recoil and barrel life of a 28 nosler but still plenty of horsepower in the 7 prc case.
Can you please clarify what you mean by this: "The clicker issue any good smith should be able to remedy this"
