Congratulations on a fine buck. I need to get my 458 Socom up and running
The .458socom case can't be made from any other case. There is rumor around and on Wikipedia that the .50AE is the parent case but it is not really true. The reason that rumor is around is because when Marty and Tony were developing the .458socom they didn't want to get a huge number of brass made special for R&D purposes due to the cost. So they got unfinished, untrimmed .50AE brass from Starline and machined .458socom brass from that. If you compare a .50AE case and .458socom case side by side it is pretty evident you are not going to make a .458 case from it.
Thanks, I read that it was based on the .50 AE online. Too bad it's not formable from the .50; I actually have those here for that silly D.E. crew served pistol.
