Is Tromix the place to go for a .458 upper? I'm not a reloader, best source for ammo?
there are other MFG.s that have the .458 parts to build/buy an upper, there is a .458 forum (http://458socomforums.com/index.php) that has a wide range of information and resources
RRA has a couple of choices as well as wilson combat, tromix was on the ground floor on the development of the .458 and has propriatory <sp> claims that some of the MFG.s don't stay within their specs for the barrel and chamber
ammo is hit & miss as far as factory loaded and is priced around $2 a round (some times more)
reloading is a shock at first, new brass is $.85 +/- a round, bullets range from $.40 ~ 1.00 each +/-, powder availability is spotty with several of the caliber specific favorites, primers are the only constant price wise
it's a caliber that's fun to shoot, just kinda pricey ( but we didn't start in this hobby to save money...................right ?)
