| "The deals you miss don’t hurt you”-B.D. Raney Sr. |
And I need some plinking ammo.  Gunbot came up with midwayusa for about $2.90/rd. I know this stuff isn’t cheap and that I really need to reload for it, but I have to start somewhere. | ||

Ammoseek.com LAX ammunition has some for $1.30/rd. Luck, Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||

Can't help you on the ammo, but gawd I'd love to play with that for an afternoon. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

I just got out of 45-70, so....I think it'll do fine for thinning out the turtles in my ponds. | |||

I've shot turtles in a pond from a high angle. As from a helicopter. 55 grain 223 bullets are more than adequate for turtles. The guys using ball ammo made quick work of turtles, even with off-center hits. Lots of water in the air, with parts flying. I shot them with 55 grain VMax bullets. Spectacular splashes of turtle parts, fountain-like water eruption, nice turtle-parts slick on the surface. You don't need 458 -- 223 does it for substantially less cost per round, less recoil, possibly greater accuracy, and greater expansion in a small critter. | |||

If you miss they'll probably red mist from the water pressure! Train how you intend to Fight Remember - Training is not sparring. Sparring is not fighting. Fighting is not combat. | |||

[thread drift]Um, why shoot turtles?[thread drift] This is a curiosity question, not a moral one. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Wait, what? |
You'll need to be reloading if you're serious about shooting this beast regularly. Starline is excellent brass. https://www.starlinebrass.com/...ses/458-SOCOM-Brass/ “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||
