Anyone shooting .458 SOCOM??

[Blitzfike]

I've got a lot of 500gr and 405gr that I never got around to loading in it. Just have to use them in the 45-70's and .458 Lott..........armadillos are vicious sometimes....unpredictable and often charge when provoked, lol.

Its the teeth... They really stand out in a charge..

That is a good looking upper.

Thank you. I do hope to test fire it by the weekend.

Pretty cool, those big bore AR's are just fun in a way that makes big smiles after each shot. I've never shot a .458 SOCOM, I went with the .50 Beowulf but I imagine they have similar effect on the human smile. I was impressed that mine easily pounded a steel plate at 100 yards without a miss despite not being completely sighted in yet.

I have not ever had my hands on the .50 BW yet. I do not know a lot about them. I should look into them some. Now I am new to this Big Bore AR thing. Deal with ARs for years but 5.56 is the main one. I put together a .300 B.O. a few months ago and do not have a lot of luck with it. So now I am going to have some fun with this .458 Socom.

Now if you ever make it this way, look me up, and I will let you try this bad boy out. that is if I have any ammo. So far I just got 6 rds. to test fire.

I toyed with the idea of a .458 SOCOM upper last year, and asked questions about it on this forum. I let it slide when I found out how much the ammo costs

Before anyone asks, I'm not a reloader. Yet.

I should be re loading on this, but one of the guys that got me into the .458 Socom is loading all my ammo for me. And when we find factory ammo for about .20 to .30 cents more then the reloads, we buy them. The reloads are still almost as high. I have seen 100pc. of brass for $140.00 to $160.00. I can tell you now I will not be shooting this gun very often!!!

Cool, if you end up in OKC let me know and I'll let you shoot the Beowulf, I've got plenty of ammo.

I have been tossing the idea around in my head of building a 458 Socom

I have been wanting one forever. I can't stand the though of loosing my brass. I almost called tony up the other day when he posted that. Glad to hear you are happy with it. I wish people would quit spending my money for me on other stuff besides guns.
