458 hamr dead and hamr brass compatible in 458 socom?

[Archimedes]

So is the 458 hamr dead? Wilson discontinued the rifle and no one else is making barrels or bolts it seems.
Also does anyone know if the hamr brass can be used in 458 socom but loaded to 458 socom pressures. I ask because I want to buy some socom brass and it looks to be the same except small rifle primer and thicker inside, that way I have hamr brass if I can ever find a rifle for it.

The shoulder is moved forward .004” in the hamr. You could try resizing the brass in a Socom die but I would just buy some starline Socom brass.

The Hamr and Socom are excellent rounds.

But .450 Bushmaster won the war due simplicity which made it easier to produce.

I’m not a fan of the bullet section, also the slight bottleneck improves reliability in 458.

I really liked the 458 socom due bullet selection.
