Anyone had any experience with using a side charge upper with a .50 Beowulf. This will be my first big bore build just looking for so good advice thanks

Only issue I see is finding a side charger with enlarged ejection port. Otherwise, shouldn't be and issue.

Do you know how the port size requirements would compare with 458 SOCOM?  A few manufacturers (e.g., Gibbz for nonreciprocating, CMT for reciprocating) make them with ports enlarged for that round.

Not a 100% sure but I have read elsewhere that the 458 & .50 Beowulf use the same brass it's just necked down for the 458. Thank you for the links I've not seen either company before will definitely be contacting both

No, not the same brass. I use a .458 upper that aero used to sell on mine. It works great.

If it works with .458, it'll work with 50beo.
