458 SOCOM on the way

[netman]

Well I have a S and W 460 handgun for trade and nearly sealed the deal on a 458 but the logistics were too much. I went ahead and ordered a new one from Rock River. Now I have a wait and on the look out for dies and brass. Any leads let me know. Looking foreward to getting her in my hands,scoping her out and getting some loads worked up for deer season. Thanks

There are dies on gunbroker sometimes. I ordered my 458 about 3 weeks ago and am playing the waiting game also.

I got some bullets already off Andrew at Profire.

Yeah, very quick. Just wish I had a gun to shoot them out of.

I have a complete and an upper (upper is for sale in classifieds) Haven't heard back from Andrew on ammo or his reloading class?? Might try him again next week.
Wonder which is worse... having the gun and no ammo or the ammo and no gun?

Worse is my case.
I have a new to me 458 and ammo but no time to test it out.

I am waiting on a new 6.8 upper... I hate to wait! ;^)

Buy your brass when its available.... it drys up really quick. I've had 1000 pieces on backorder for over 6 months. Good thing I already have 500+ to shoot and reload.

Midway has brass available. Getting ready to order some.

 

[speakerman]

What barrel you have on that 460?

The gun and no ammo, believe me.

 

[RGriff69]

I'll trade you my ammo for your gun

Yeah, but Midways price is $360/500 = $720/1000 + shipping. I got mine for $635/1000 delivered. I just have to wait til Starline gets motivated to make it and fill backorders.

I might have to get some of those pretty 100 gr. aluminum bullets to try.

 

[netman]

Speaker I have this one

I can post my cell number if you have a trade.

 

[netman]

Doc is that price still available on the brass?

I am jealous. I want one... But can't justify it at this time. but on dude.

I picked up Hornady dies off ebay for 60 bucks. It only took Starline 1 week to get me my brass a couple weeks ago.
I built my lower and found a upper at Orion for 695.00 the same week.
I say start buying anything you need,because componets are harder than usual to fine,without ordering them.
I'm ready for deer season now though.

 

[netman]

Worked up any loads for your rifle yet? I happen to be heavy into 45-70s and have plenty of cast and jacketed bullets around. Going to call Starline tomorrow and place a order. I'm undecided on which scope to buy. I'm a Leupold man so looking at the hogman scope or something similiar. Fortunately for me I go to Louisiana several times a year and will be there during gator season. Going to waylay some hogs. Spoke to my La buddy today about hammering some hogs this year instead of gator gar fishing.

Not to hi-jack - but got to take my 458 out today for the first time. Shooting handloads 325gr FXT on top of 33.5 gr of H110.

In a simple word "OUCH". I totally wasn't expecting the level of recoil. My brain saw AR15 but my shoulder says black and blue (of course had just left the gym so was in a workout tank top )

The rifle/round shot great...only had 20 rounds with me but that was more than enough to get the new rifle and scope centered on paper.

Padded shirt for sure next time!

Doc is that price still available on the brass?

You will have to check with Andrew at Profire. He was looking at ordering for a group buy when I got that price.
