Like it or not, I have to say my Marlin 1895 SBL is my all time favorite rifle. I have put about 500 rounds through it or more and it cycles and shoots wonderfully. Mostly reloads using hard cast 405 grain bullets. In fact, it probably has fewer than 20 jacketed bullets through the pipe.
Looking at some of the monolithic bullets which I assume are brass or some alloy harder than 18b cast lead, will these decrease barrel life which with cast lead is for all practical purposes, infinite? Curious for any info regarding monolithic bullets in 45-70?
Thanks.
