Personally, no. Not even indirectly...the worn out guns I have handled generally didn't wear out from high round counts.
There is the mythos of old woodsmen who would fire .32 or .35 ammo from what was originally a .30 caliber rifle because the bore was worn out from constant use. I put that right next to stories of those same woodsmen using low power loads that wouldn't completely penetrate so they could recover the bullets, to reload them.
