XCaliber Ammunition Big Bore (.458, .450, 50 Beo, .338), Arisaka, Carcano etc.

ericoak · Jan 12, 2018

My cousin owns an ammunition company and they specialize in non standard calibers. Generally we talking about big bore ARs, magnum calibers, and less common cartridges like Ariska. Their prices are extremely competitive, considering they use high quality bullets from companies like Hornady. Ammo seek has their .458 Socom in the top 2. I know they have contracts to load for other larger companies, but don't know which ones I can mention.

Rifle Calibers Currently Sold:
.458 Socom (They just received their own headstamped brass)
.450 Bushmaster
50 Beowulf
.45/70 (Both Trapdoor and Full Power)
7.7 Arisaka
.338 Lapua
.303 British
.223 Remington
.308 Winchester

I was told the next four rifle rounds planned for 1st quarter of this year are:
.30-06 (Garand Load)
6.5 Arisaka
7.35 Carcano
243 WSSM

Disclaimer: My cousin owns XCaliber Ammunition but I have zero financial interest, he is just a good guy who makes good ammo and I think he deserves more exposure.

I never suspected you were related to the owners of that company. Just recently I bought a box of 20 rounds in Japanese 7.7mm from them for use with a still-in-transfer-jail gun. Guess I should try it in one of my Type 99 rifles, as well. :thumbsup:

Prices look good. Website bookmarked. Thanks for the heads up. Grabbing a .338 Lapua and possibly a Beowulf or SOCOM this winter or spring. Those calibers are very reasonably priced. Look forward to trying it.

That's awesome! I'm trying to figure out what is transferable in 7.7 Jap. Type 92? Type 99 SBR?

I'll bring another box for you to the next MG shoot I can attend.

Sounds like a fun winter to me.

We were planning on running some .458 Socom on my full auto lower but with single digits windchills Christmas week we decided to wait until spring.

Type 99 LMG. I'm trying not to think about it. Matt is such an enabler.

Haha yes he is. He is the reason I have an M11/9 and M16A1...

Who is going to volunteer to hold the bipod? :cool:

Checked AmmoSeek, they are showing up. That's a good sign.

I can't remember how much he said they charge him to list on there, but he said it is basically a necessity for an ammunition company. Plus the other websites that sell his ammo also list on there.

Do they have any interest in loading 6.5x50 Japanese? I have more rifles in 6.5 than 7.7. PPU apparently makes brass for both 6.5 and 7.7 Japanese.

He said that is coming out in the 1st quarter of this year, its one of his next calibers.

can't wait to try the 6.5 jap. I've got a nice 38 carbine I've been dying to shoot and I have not gotten around to loading rounds up for it. I think I have less than a dozen left I loaded for the for the rifle.

I'll keep track of their site, thanks.

Looking forward to see what type of Garand ammo they come out with. I'm hoping something other than ball ammo is availble. I'm jonesing to go deer hunting with my Garand :cool:
