Finally my rifle is done. Shot a few rounds tonight as sun went down, it's pretty neat. Will post more tomorrow but this just makes me chuckle.
458 Socom makes me grin

My brother has one. I definitely wasn’t expecting it to shoot as accurate as it does. I think 5 rounds were touching at 100yds. Gotta take it on an armadillo hunt to see if it has stopping power.

It's like a midget on a motorcycle. Love it
I have shot a bunch of pigs with the good old SOCOM. I use the 325 gr flex tip and no matter the size, I have never recovered a bullet from inside a single one. I did find the little plastic tip on the flex tip in one once, but never had a pig "trap" a bullet. Biggest one I shot was 287# on the scale. That bullet went through both front shoulders and all innerds in the way to include both lungs and heart saw dust from the bullet hitting the dust in the sendero about 30 yards behind it. Love me some SOCOM..... but I got my doubts of how well it will do against the tough armor of a "Diller" 
Had a similar conversation...kinda wanna shoot a critter with it but would probably just poke a hole in a raccoon.
I wish I had built this when I first wanted to down in Texas, and was near hogs. Now I'm up north and nothing 458 Socom worthy to hunt.
