...and the most intelligent thing I can think of to do with a 458 case...neck it to .416 and shoot 450 Hornady's through a can.

Whos Marty?

I got my custom mold from Accurate built to fit my Magma Master Caster. I just need to hunt down some gas checks. Also I can't find any LP mag primers anywhere.

So is 16" the only barrels available? I was looking around hoping to see an 18" somewhere. Maybe Spook can do one that long?

Dave with a stiff load of RL-10x and a 350 gr bullet theres about 20 fps per inch to be gained out to 24"...kind of a diminishing return ?

OK, just wondering why I have only ever seen 16" barrels, and now I know why. (and knowing is half the battle!) I was actually asking because Bushmaster makes (or used to make) a 20" upper for their .450 "thumper" round, and was curious. I ordered a RRA .458 upper, but in my last talk with them they basically told me to stop calling, it's on indefinite backorder and I'll get it when I get it if ever. And, if I cancel my order I still have to pay a 20% restocking fee, even though there is no item to actually put back into their stock.

Good intel Dave.

I ordered a Wilson Combat 458 SOCOM " Build Kit" (barrel, adjustable gas block, gas tube, BCG, brake) on 09 Apr 2013.
Here's the latest word:

We currently do not have an estimated time, we are severely back ordered with barrels. I checked to see where you were at on the back order list and you are 54th in line. It will still be several months wait.
Thank You for your patience.

Was yours with RRA as well? I ordered a full upper on April 7, 2013 and they haven't told me what spot I am in line.
