Polycase 458 SOCOM 140 Grain ARX Brass Case Ammunition, 20 Per Box
For over a century most bullets have been mass-produced with a process called cold forming. Lead and copper were shaped with brute force in punches and dies to create projectiles. While this is still an effective way to produce projectiles, other manufacturing methods have progressed thus giving us new ways to produce bullets.
PolyCase Ammunition has redefined the bullet manufacturing process by applying advanced injection molding technology, cutting edge engineering and a highly specialized metal-polymer compound to designs and a process that results in precise, consistent, accurate, low ricochet, range compliant bullets with sound terminal performance. Our organic tool-making capability and flexible manufacturing process allow us a great deal of agility in terms of rapid prototyping and bullet production, with the ability to meet very specific performance characteristics on very tight timelines. The process allows us to go from concept to full production in greatly reduced time compared to swagging (faster time-to-market) and results in precision bullet designs that function very well in modern firearms.

particular item.
The 458 SOCOM (for Special Operations Command) was designed by Marty ter Weeme in the late 1990s, originally intended to provide massive knockdown power with heavy bullets at subsonic velocities, for use in the M16 platform with suppressor. It is based on the rebated-rim 425 Westley Richards case shortened to 1.575 inches and necked to take a .458-inch bullet. The 458 SOCOM has not been officially adopted by the military, but AR15 upper receivers are available for multiple sources and CorBon offers a variety of loads, supersonic for hunting with bullets from 250 to 450 grains; and subsonic with a 600-grain bullet at 950 feet per second. Like the 450 Bushmaster and 500 Beowulf, the 458 SOCOM offers large-caliber power in the AR platform, offering short-range capability for larger game.
