Hey I stumbled onto it while reading and laughing at some issues over on ARF, whats funny is, this site does not have all of the garbage posts,tags,+1’s etc, almost every post I read is AT LEAST semi worthwhile to the posters question.
I purchased a .458SOCOM upper from Teppo Jutsu a few years back and set up a rifle with an Ace skeleton stock on the lower and an Aimpoint for an optic. I don’t recollect if even CorBon was selling ammo at that time. I was strictly reloading for the rifle, using 400gr and 500gr round nose bullets. I can’t remember what I loaded behind them, but the recoil was pretty hefty, about like a 3" 12 guage, maybe a little harder.
I sold the rifle last year to fund something else, to someone who was going to take it to Africa to use as a bush rifle. If I were independently wealthy my gun safe would be less like a Motel 6 and more like a retirement community, and I’d still have it.
Here’s a few pics. It sure had a formidable looking bore.
