McGowen barrels are good ones.
Their .458-caliber barrel had a true minimum groove diameter of 0.458" last one I bought from them.
The Pac-Nor was too.
The factory CZ barrels I have slugged are 0.459" like on most .458 WinMag factory rifles, Winchester and Ruger.
SAAMI minimum spec is 0.458" for barrel groove, and maximum bullet spec is 0.459" diameter.
I think my Shilen barrels are about 0.4585" so rounds up to 0.459".

I heard the McGowen factory is making the inside steel tube of carbon-fiber wrapped rifle barrels
for some brand nowadays too.
