Any of the .458 SOCOM cartridges, .458 and .375 are factory available, but if you talk nice to Tony you might be able to score a .358 SOCOM or .475 SOCOM. They all use the .458 SOCOM case and LP primers. You don't have to use Magnum primers but most do, especially with H110 but in the .358 and .375, with powders like AR-COMP, LP primers will do just fine.
You could also do the .338 Spectre, it uses 10mm magnum brass and LP primers with 6.8 magazines and 6.8 bolt. |

Man I'd love to see a 45 Colt build. No real reason other than I'd love to load up Goex and cloud up the range with a mag dump.
And you could get a bunch of Buffalo Bore +P rounds and deliver a lot of pain downrange. Yes, I realize there would be a lot of logistical hurdles, particularly magazines. |

They are Win LP primers so are good for standard and magnum loads so that shouldn't be an issue. The 358 sounds interesting. I am doing a 450 BM right now (because I have a pile of .452" pills) so the 458 wouldn't be practical. I have a 357 so lots of bullets there as well. I assume that since the 358 uses the SOCOM case I could use my 458 bolt that I got for my 450. |

Yes, that is correct.

So if someone is building, what are the pros and cons of .450 Bushmaster and .458 SOCOM?
I can handload if that makes a difference.

Personally I went with the 450 because I have a pile of .452" bullets already. Now that small primers are hard to find and I have a pile of large primers I am having second thoughts. Might build a 458 too, ha. |

I think I maybe only have 8 or 10 thousand small primers split between small rifle and small pistol... So I need to check how many large I have. |
