I have killed dear with the 458 SOCOM and cracked many rocks. I have only reloaded for it, have used the 250gr Hornadies to 530gr any most weights in between. Super fun round, love smacking
things with a 500gr RN. Full power loads do have some recoil but nothing worse than a 12ga slug. I made mine a 10.5" and after shooting it for a year I decided some weight in the rear might make
it funner to shoot. After trying lead shot in the battery compartments LOL I ended up buying a steel buffer tube for it from V7 weapon systems, calmed it down some and feels better when carrying,
more balanced. I really want to shoot a black bear with the 300gr Barnes projectile, but no luck so far. 458 Socom is a round I would recommend to everyone so fun.
