Shot some does with mine. Definitely a novelty item imo. 325gr Hornady red tips will devastate any doe though lol. I've only reloaded, never bought any factory. I've got hundreds and hundreds of .458 bullets for other cartridges so I figured I might as well venture out and try a SOCOM a few years ago.
I'm on the same page....it'll hunt just about anything, but it's more of a novelty for me and I already had a bunch of 458 projectiles from the 458 Lott and 45-70.
