All strings are different, depending on how good the latches are polished. However, that said, I've got up 600 to 700 shots off some custom strings, and 200 to 400 average from stock strings.
And, that doesn't mean they are no good, just means they may need reserving only. :)

Yep, just keep an eye on the center serving, and the loops.
