458SOCOM is a nice SBR cartridge.

It actually is.  Loses little velocity going from a 16 inch barrel to a 10.5 inch barrel.  I would like to try some 200 grain polycase out with that… I really like the polycase ammo.  I've been considering a SBR, if I can make one make sense to me… the .458 SOCOM is my number one candidate at this point in time.  
I think it will ROCK...

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

I've heard some good things about that round, but have no experience with it.

A subsonic 600gr 458 Cal bullet would work really well in an SBR.

I have thought about 458 or 375 from an SBR, but neither would work with existing cans I own now.

My go to for subsonic is 220 gr 300BO. But yea, a 600gr chunk of lead would be ass-kicking.
