As a buddy from Texas once told me: “Big bores for big boars.”

Texan here, can confirm 458 SOCOM smacks them with the fist of an angry God. 10 fit in a standard AR15 mag, 14 fit in a 40 rd mag plus one in the pipe.

Yeah big bore for big boars indeed.
My other pig slayer is in AR10 it shoots 358 Winchester that packs 25 to a standard AR10 mag. 220gr Nosler partitions is all that rifle ever shoots be it at moose,grizzly or hogs those Noslers are death from afar or up close. That AR10 has fully replaced the 458 expect for shooting subsonics over the shoulder of the ATV driving buddy while night team hunting with NVG, lasers and ATVs and comms so no cross fire.
This is the way....absolutely love this upper it goes to Alaska as big bear medicine.

Have my eyes one a new upper since I load 375 H&H mag I have access to bullets I can also load in the raptor. This would remove the need for subsonic 458 as the larger 375 bore over the 358 can shoot 450gr subsonics that should be pig wasting machines.
