Most esteemed gentlemen and scholars of the .458 SOCOM, I'd like to start a dedicated caliber thread as a repository for recipes and general knowledge. This includes general questions for and from the bi-caliber curious. I'll only judge you a little if your shoulder can only take half a magazine.
In all seriousness, I'll be dropping my own recipes here as I develop them and try out new powder and bullet combo's. I'll try to remember to provide chrono data as we progress to loads that excel for me. Any and all recipes taken from here should be used at your own risk and following the general safety guidelines. Things will be slow at first, but with a little luck I'll pick up as the hunting season approaches. Pictures of your rifles/loads/targets are all welcome.
Please feel free to share any experience in the caliber such as components or uppers in the good, bad, or (now politically correct) beauty impaired.
For all testing and data from me I'll be using:
Tromix 16" upper and their tank brake
Virgin or once fired starline brass unless otherwise specified
CCI 300 LPP
The good old grey Prochrono (it definitely hasn't been hit)
