Re: 458 win mag barrel life.

More guns are damaged due to neglect than actual shooting. Many of today's dangerous game bullets are fouling monsters. The Hornady Dangerous Game series, whether soft or solid, employ a steel jacket that is plated with a small amount of copper to preserve your barrels rifling. That copper is very soft and after a good days shooting, you will swear you have a plague of copper. The Barnes solids can mix up with your other gilding metal bullets and the fouling will be severe. Modern copper removers such as Wipe Out are a real blessing.

Keep your barrel clean, and your gun properly lubricated, and you will have your .458 for a lifetime.
