If you start with a quality chain and re-wax religiously, I believe you can hit those numbers. I'm up in that area with my chains using a rotation system and waxing at 300 miles or less depending on riding conditions and the chains aren't measuring out any significant wear yet. And all I use are donated candles from the neighbor ladies and sometimes some paraffin canning wax. But the best part is no greasy smudges on my clothes or hands when tinkering on the bikes.
