.458 Wilson Combat Arms HAM’R
https://www.wilsoncombat.com/458-hamr/
Got a friend with a fat pocket asking me if these would “hammer” themselves apart. I’ve gone into radically light since ripping my shoulders out so I don’t know. Anybody have one? Thoughts?

I’ve been told by some women
that bigger isn’t always better... But they might’ve been trying to not hurt my feelings... Oh, you were talking about guns though |

Because of the system that delivers it, I'd wager recoil isn't too bad, but that the bullet hits like a hammer.

That’s what I figured. As long as it locks up properly the bolt/barrel extension lug interface should outlast the rifling as well as several sets of rings, extractors, extractor springs, ejectors and ejector springs.

A few well placed rounds of 7.62x51 I would imagine take down anything N. America has walking or crawling around? |

The pressures it produces are less then 308. It will probably be just fine. Now if it was chambered in 300 win mag or 338 it might be a different story. It’s basically just the 458 socom on roids.

I'll let everyone else get seduced and grifted by the urgent voice, and the stringed bass providing the "drama".
I'll stick to my FAL's, thank you very much. If I need something with longer legs? Well... that thing ain't got em. I got a couple bolt guns, that do. Rumor has it that a .338 WinMag hits hard enough to get your attention, especially when you get over 250 grns, regardless of which side of the muzzle you might be standing. And the ammo is pretty easy to find when you run out of the roll-yer-own variety. If I need a 500 grn bullet? That 500 S&W on my hip works very nicely, thank you. And it did not set me back $3,000, either. You need a 700 grn bullet? Well... best you be sporting some Arnold Schwarxniqqer wrists, but the revolver can handle'em. Rebated rim brass is against my religion, damned as heresy. To each, their own. |
