I played with the SOCOM quite a bit several years ago and never did get any satisfactory results. Biggest problem was fouling in the chamber, often after one or two shots. Even had feeding issues with jacketed.
Life got in the way and everything went into the safe until just recently.
Now I've been told that the SOCOM is very sensitive to bullet shape and that there is a "SOCOM bullet". I can't find any specific info but it does look like most of the ammo offered for sale have very similar bullet shape.
Can anybody shed some light on this for me? Anybody have success with cast in the 458SOCOM? Any favorite boolit? Any pet recipes to share?
I sure would like to get this working. It's really a fun cartridge if you don't mind getting beat up with recoil!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jerry
