I have a feeling I may be restarting an old war here, that is not my intention. I have been looking at both of these cartridges. I started just looking for a fat slow round for fun. Then came across these two rounds, and since I have been thinking about an AR-15 anyway, this would make a lot of sense. I have done a lot of reading in the archives about the two rounds and I can't see a clear choice between the two. I really like the idea of the .50 caliber, but the 458 seems to make a lot of sense. So currently what I am looking at is a semi-auto that throws big lead,for fun,and hunting deer and pig.Maybe northern critters later.I would prefer to keep the recoil down a bit, I will most certainly load my own. Accuracy is important. Thanks. Sand Creek November 29 1864 | ||

I would go with the 458 SOCOM simply because of the availability and selection of .458 bullets. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

My opinion is that you do not get enough extra power out of the 50 beo to make it worth the hassle, thus I would go with the 458 socom. | |||
