Bigger...

XTR

F-TR obssessed shooting junkie
I like big...

I got my 458Socom out this weekend

458 sized holes vs 22 sized holes. It makes me smile

That was at 50 yards, and I was just getting chrono data. "one ragged hole" is actually pretty big when you are shooting bullets that are nearly ½" across.

Mine's a 16" carbine length system I'm shooting N120 behind 405s. That 6 shot group is 2 shots each of three loads ½ a grain difference each. I tested from 32.0 to 35.5 gr of N120. Speeds were from lower 1400s to just over 1500 FPS. I was just using an aiming point to get labradar numbers. I'm going to go back and test for a subsonic load. If I shoot this one at close to 1500 FPS it will shoot through pretty much anything walking in the eastern US inside of 100 yards, which is what I wanted it for.

It's pretty nice with a 3 round Lancer mag it's a compact little brush gun, and I've got a can for it. :) As I've heard it said, your 30 may expand, but my 458 damned sure won't shrink
