My son bought a .458 Socom a few years back and the ballistics are equal to or greater than the standard .45-70 factory ammo. It seems to function as well as the .223 upper with which he has taken feral hogs. He has not used the Socom on hogs yet, but it should do fine.




Will the .458 Socum feed the 405gr. Remington bullet - it is flat nosed and rather blunt.

Perhaps the 325gr. rubber tipped Hornady might feed better and be more appropriate for hogs with deeper penetration than the 405gr FN, or just as good & with good expansion. Guys up here have said they are too soft for moose.

Top-end Marlin loads with the 405 Remington, same deal - gotta slow them down, I have read, such that, anything over 1,800fps is too fast for heavy game.
