I ain't stoopid enuf to make a pistol in that caliber, that's a rifle.
Actually, .458 SOCOM and .50 Beowulf are both classified as pistol cartiridges

Thanks for all the pics.
I have a hard time thinking of a .223 in a pistol. No way would .458 SOCOM be a pistol. Then again, SBR does have Rifle in it.
Won't be using the .458 SOCOM for anything but close range stuff, like in the house, so I don't really want a 16"+ barrel on it. Maybe not a 10.5" barrel, but definitely something shorter than 16". I'll build the .300 Blk first, see how I like it at 10.5", see how much barrel length I need for a full powder burn in a .458 SOCOM, and then attempt to figure out what length barrel I want for the .458 SOCOM.
The .458 standing next to the .223 makes the .223 look small. Then again, I've done most of my deer hunting with a .300 Win Mag over the past 20 years, so when I saw my first .223 case I thought it was puny.

Not that hard to find a .458 SOCOM barrel, 10.5" may be an issue but I really don't think you're going to like it with a 10.5" barrel.
How short would you suggest going without getting insane... assuming anything in .458 SOCOM is still within the realm of sanity?
