The Buffalo Bore Hunting & Sniping .458 SOCOM 300-grain Barnes Tipped TSX (part no. 47A20) brings serious big-bore power to the AR-15 platform from Buffalo Bore. .458 SOCOM was designed to deliver heavy-bullet stopping power out of a standard AR-15 lower, and this load backs that up with a lead-free Barnes TSX bullet built for deep, controlled penetration. It’s suited to hunters chasing the biggest North American game with a semi-auto platform, as well as shooters who want a hard-hitting, close-range round for a big-bore AR build. The all-copper bullet holds together on impact instead of shedding weight, giving it a real advantage over lighter-for-caliber loads.
