    Get the RRA, use the cash that you save to get ammunition.
    If you make it out to this:

    Find me, I might let you shoot a round or two out my RRA ( and only charge you $5, ) after I get it sighted in again.

    As mentioned before - I been having a devil of a time finding suitable 458 slugs for reloading. - It may get so bad that I'll have to buy the BT-Sniper die set to swage 300gr JSP slugs from 40 S&W brass. Cause really - what else you going to do with 40 S&W brass, its too short to use in a real 10mm.

    ETA: Slugs = Brass? If so, IM/e-mail me and I might be able to loan/trade/pay forward a few cases...


    Hopefully the 45-70 Rem bulk bullets will return someday.

    Not the cheapest, but specifically designed for the 458S and pure awesome: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/544...free-box-of-50



    A bit cheaper:

    No clue about these folks but the 300GR Rem bulk projectile was kind of the standard/generic starting point: http://www.huntingtons.com/store/pro...roductid=20128

    Sounds like he is talking bullets, though he refers to them as slugs.... And making .458 bullets out of .40 S&W brass ? I would think is a bit strange.

    Edit: Actually found an article on this, they are using ,45 ACP cases to make .458 SOCOM bullets..... Whodathunk....

    Hmm, I missed that one... Interesting and good to know but thankfully I'm set for a bit.

    Also forgot to look for the Hornady 300GR bulk bullets but they're out there too. OP, I think there are some components for sale over on the 458S Forum.
