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.

I just knew you couldn't resist dropping that into a thread in front of me ;)

But yeah, I've got so many 458 cal stuff that Socom was fine. I like big stuff for the giggles of it. I do need to order brass to make some more boolits though.

U dropped a dear with a 458? Or watched a video? I consider everything that sits in my safe a novelty item... not gonna have time to punch them buttons when it comes down to it... definitely have a night stand xds 9 for pp.. considered going back to a 45.. to prevent room travel of the projectile...
