Anyone know of a good smith that has a .458 Socom Reamer? I’m ditching 8.6

I have a Tromix 458 upper and very happy with it. You may want to look at the 375 SOCOM as well, better velocity on supers.

Will do, thank you. Didn’t know they did bolt gun barrels.

I’m building this around the Maker 650 expanding sub. I don’t plan on shooting supers through this one.

Tromix is the good stuff. They used to do barrels and prefits, but I don't think they do bolt gun barrels now unfortunately.

They'll refer you to Paladin Machine.

I’ll throw my 16” .458 bolt into the thread. This is using a Tromix 1:10 twist exclusively for 500 grain maker bullets. She will absolutely smoke a deer! Left a blood trail last month that Helen Keller could follow.
