My first attempt at casting/powder coating. 500 gr gas checked monsters for my 458 socom! Any load recommendations for subsonic loads out of a 16” barrel 1:14 twist. I’m going to try Lil’ gun and IMR 4198 first.

What’s your go to steel magazine for socom? And is recoil too much that it would damage a thermal or NVS?

Put a lower on the Tromix since it wouldn’t fit my v seven or LWRC lowers

Am I doing this right?

Trying some other powders in the socom. Each of the three is three different charges. I love my rifle. It shoots about everything well.

First round Feeding issues. Rifle does this with big bore follower GI mag, 10 round pmag, 30 round pmag. GI mag is unusable, as is the 30 round pmag. 10 rounder will run through 4 rounds if I put one in the chamber by hand first. Any ideas? Wilson combat .458 internals, Aero precision XL upper.

Went from a 16.25 barrel to 10.5. Complete tromix upper, guntec 10 inch handguard from valhalla tactical supply, sylvan arms folding stock adapter, magpul stock and pistol grip, and psa lower that I've had for a long time. Can't decide if I wanna put the tank break back on or get something different

Help on a .458 Pistol build, if I build a .458 pistol breakdown rifle. And wanted to you an interchange barrel system, all I would need is to change the barrel and bolt. If it’s built for .458 to change it to a .300 or 5.56? Not my pic

And so it begins...

BCA 458 upper on my Aero lower. So Far, it has been feeding well and i was able to smack a plate with a reddot i threw on it with no issues. Scope base is on order and ill put it on paper soon and report group sizes.
