458 SOCOM or 450 Bushmaster???

Slow moving freight train it's all about the mass. Like a 58 muzzle loader large slow and destructive.
What was the load you used for the doe

H110 and 325gr FTX

So it would be a great tree stand gun

I’m sure imagining what that round can do at bow ranges. Talk about putting the whammy on deer and hogs.

Nice little more velocity than 4198 but I've got 4-5 lbs of it and only a little of 110 using it for mag pistol

Tree stand for deer, hogs, home defense...

Got some 458 (and a little 300blk) ammo in today. Who knows when I'll actually get to the range, but I'm excited to put this downrange regardless!

I may have to arm wrestle undeg01 for some of these lol Have shot a few 600gr out my 45/70's but not the SOCOM.

Where did you find load info for 600gr in .45-70? And what are you shooting them out of? I’m wanting to work up some heavy subsonic loads for my 1895g and Hybrid... should the .gov ever decide to let me have it.

How many rounds in that bucket and how much was it?

 

[amcardon]

200 rounds of Berry's 350gn FMJ $284.99 from Black Butterfly Ammunition

I figure new brass is roughly $0.70 each so I didn't feel as bad paying $1.42/round...

I've loaded tons of 500gr bullets for my 1874 Sharps over the years, so I just used those to work up a load for the 600gr. IMR-3031 powder.

Loaded up a few to get things going and get the rifle sighted in, hopefully this weekend.

Ain’t they purdy?

I will post up my 458 Socom recipes once I get to the ranch and into the reloading room. Purty bullets ya have there..
