At PolyCase's mission is simple: leverage the latest technologies to create the next generation of defense, training and hunting ammunition with tried and true performance. Polycase accomplished this mission with the introduction of the Inceptor Preferred Hunting line, featuring the patent-pending PolyCase ARX projectile. This non-expanding projectile is light, fast and has low recoil while retaining a flat trajectory. Its fluted design ensures exceptional reliability and terminal performance while diminishing the possibility of over-penetration.
ARX bullets are engineered for hydraulic displacement and terminal energy transfer to targets..
ARX design pressurizes and ejects fluid target matter. A bullet traveling at 1400 FPS upon terminal impact will cause fluid matter to eject laterally at 1.5 to 2 times the normal speed of the bullet (2100–2800 FPS). This is the result of the well-known Venturi Effect.
Features :
- Revolutionary Hunting Technology: From the research and development laboratory of PolyCase Ammunition, the Inceptor ARX is the next-generation of hunting ammunition. Through advanced design and materials science the ARX uses fluid dynamics and non-expanding surface area instead of expansion to achieve terminal performance.
- Engineered Fluid Dynamics: By design, the enhanced surface area and design of the ARX exploit the bullet’s forward energy and redirect that energy in the form of hydraulic displacement (hydrostatic shock). This hydraulic displacement creates a wound cavity that rivals that created by expanding bullets.
- Lateral Force: The ARX bullet’s hydraulic displacement effect is achieved by the ARX technology. The ARX flutes – grooves on the nose of the bullet – have wide mouths and narrow exit points. When combined with the bullet’s forward velocity into soft tissue, the design of the ARX flutes causes an increase in pressure of the fluid. As a result, the fluid is laterally ejected from the flutes at a higher velocity than the actual speed of the bullet itself, creating the massive cavitation and wound channels seen in the ARX gelatin tests.
- Specially Engineered Profile: Because it has no hollow-point or sharp edges on the nose of the bullet, the ARX feeds like a round nose, yet retains stopping power and terminal performance that rivals expanding bullets.
- High Velocity: Achieves higher velocity and higher energy than many other hunting cartridges, yet imparts less recoil for quicker follow up shots.
- Advanced Materials: Performs in a wide range of conditions and weapons systems

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
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.
