Been considering a .458 socom for some time. How's its performance?

Much power and accuracy up to 100-125 yards...hurts my shoulder... expensive to shoot, tho....300 grain Hornady rounds are 2.50 each...
 
 
Depends on what you want it for...

That the main reason i wouldn't buy one. kicks like a mule, costs way too much feed it.
 
I did buy a 15-22 to toy around with shooting paper targets. pew pew fun

 
Heh...It was just a 'want' for me...I certainly didn't need it..nor did I intend then or now, shoot it much ;)

Start reloading and you can cut that price per round way down. I can load the 50 cal version of that 300gr Hornady for about 90 cents/round with my beowulf. If I don't need expansion IE range ammo. I can load rainer 335gr for around 35 cents/round.
 
My favorite is 325gr speer HP. They expand out to bigger than a quarter in soft dirt or sand.

I might expand into reloading once I get a bit more money saved up....heh....
 
I've always been interested in it....

This hobby looks more expensive than computers 

Depends. Unlike computers, firearms, if taken care of don't devalue, while technology is the worst investment out there.  You can easily find under 20 per round of rifle or pistol ammo and go shooting every month affordably. Join a club save enough more money and have much more fun shooting outdoors  and in more ways than a basic commercial range allows. Nobody goes to the range and doesn't have a good time.
