458x2 American

[Rick_W]

I have an AR set up with the .50 Beowulf upper.

Kinda wished I had gone with the .458 SOCOM.

While I have been extremely pleased with the Beowulf, there are quite a few more bullet choices for the SOCOM.

Also, the Beowulf spaces off the case mouth while the SOCOM has a shoulder.

Not sure if you seen my post when I built my wife's 45 ACP Savage. Here are a few:

It has a Shilen barrel cut to an overall length of 17". The front sights are Tech Sights that are made for .920 barreled 10/22's. The rear sights are Williams WGRS with a ghost ring. I wasn't really sure if the heights would work but they actaully work perfectly with each other. The stock is s stock I use when working on stuff so don't think that is the stock that will stay with it.

My wife is extremely accurate with this setup (as with any of the many guns she shoots) and works well for what it was built for, problem animals that show up from time to time. With the ghost ring sights she has absolutely no problems getting in on the animals accurately and with the HOT 45 ACP loads it makes short work of them regardless of what it is.
Here are a few loads:

200 grain Gold Dots and some 250 grain SST's. I have actually loaded and shot the SST's out of a 1911 before when I was doing some testing and they worked OK.

She has a few other guns but those have red dots that need her to turn them on before shooting. With this she really likes the fact there is nothing to mess with, just point and shoot.

Good luck with your project
