"I would rather have 50 enemy, any enemy shooting at me than one mad Marine with a rifle".
Kyle Lamb,Viking tactics. I did carbine and pistol. In the pistol class we fired about 700+ rounds the first day.
Push the rifle, or push yourself? If it's just stressing your rifle you're after, not sure what to tell you beyond look for classes with really volumes of shooting. Hopefully you're more interested in personal development than just burning out the barrel in your carbine, though.
My only personal experience: The Magpul Dynamics carbine class has a pretty high round count, and the better shooter you are the more rounds you'll fire as they push you harder.

Zombies seek out and eat brains. Don't worry; you'll be safe if they attack.
Best carbine class I've ever had, Louis Awerbuck, I fired 600 rounds +/-. It is NOT quantity, it's quality. I learned something with every single round fired. I have been to classes where I didn't learn 1/10 as much in nearly twice that number.
I believe a class with Larry Vickers might show you that it is not the round count that is important, it is the accuracy standards that are important. It will provide you far greater value than just pounding the trigger... Trust me, at the end of the day you will be exhausted, every round you fire counts...
Both the TDSA and Pat Rogers classes I attended were top notch.
Mark Fricke also teaches a couple of pretty decent courses through the NRA LE instructor programs, both Patrol Rifle and Tactical Shooting are good.
Are you looking for a class that will push you or push your rifle? Or both?
If you want to simply test/break in your rifle you don't need to attend a shooting school to do it.
Another vote for Vickers or any of the folks from his from his former unit (Lamb, Howe, Tigerswan, et al..), where accuracy is stressed, instead of a high round count.
