First hunt with the CMMG Anvil 458 Socom

[TEXASLAWMAN]

Tried something a little different here showed a little more of the hunt than just the part where the hogs show up let me know what you think.

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Makes me kinda sick to watch. I can't even begin to tell you how bad my cabin graver is right now.

Nice change up of a hunt's cycle of events. Just something sweet about the hammer-whack of a .458.

Great video. That .458 is a hammer! I've had one for quite a while but never gotten it out hunting. Fun to shoot and always a conversation starter at the range.

I really enjoyed that video style Todd, felt like I was right there with you start to finish. Can't wait to see some more .458 testing too, looks like it hammered them.

 

[RattlesnakeDan]

The most professional intros are so impressive and the video was great to watch...had my attention the whole time! Great job!

 

[gshock]

Good video! Definitely felt like I was in the woods ... good hogs down. That 458 is a hammer.

i liked it, but would like it more if you had chased them down hanging out the window smacking them with the 'hamma'

 

[Curly Shuffle]

They can tear stuff up!! That 458 can smack the snot of them!! BANG BANG!!

Man I thought my truck was going to burn down after driving out there carefully. Hammer down chasing them it would have for sure with all that stuff getting caught in there.

Love the bang thwack of the 458socom. Have to go kill some wild cows on Monday. The 458 will be perfect for that....

 

[Bakester]

So great to see this. My buddy that was out a couple weeks ago is talking about one of these after so many ran off with multi 308 hits. Any negatives so far?

 

[bldsmith]

Well the 5 wild cows are all dead. They would not let us get within 200 yds so my buddy did most of the killing. I just took a few coupe de gras shots. 458socom to the the forehead does wonders. I did take a few 200yd shots and there were some massive exit wounds I could fit 3 fingers through. Did not recover any bullets. Did not take a pics, too busy trying to get 5 1800lb plus cows dressed out. Smallest dressed to 951lbs hanging weight, largest 1500lbs hanging. Estimated we handled 12000lbs of beef yesterday. Luckily the butcher came out and finished dressing for the locker or we would still be out there. The wife made me throw away my clothes.

 

[Ratdog68]

I'll bet that was a sight to behold!! That's a PILE of warm beef !!! I'm jealous!! Congrats!

 

[djones]

cool. what was your buddy shooting?

Negatives are muzzle climb and limited magazine capacity.

 

[bldsmith]

Browning a bolt 30-06 and an ar10. His son was carrying the 10 and never got off a shot. He emptied 2 mags on his a bolt then half a mag on the ar10. Lots of lead flying. We went back out there today to finish cleaning up. Just the pike if heads was incredible. Now we need to set up for some yokes on the gut piles.

 

[bldsmith]

Negatives are muzzle climb and limited magazine capacity.

Yes, muzzle climb was very distracting. Could not verify shot placement. And since I have never shot 200yds with the 458socom it was very difficult. I know I hit the cow I am processing. Took a shot and she jumped straight up. Other than the bang thump I did not know what adjustments needed to be made.

 

[bldsmith]

I can tell you though, do not shoot this without hearing protection. I will be investing in some good electronic muffs. I wanted to be able to communicate so did not put in plugs. Ears took 5 hours to come out of the tunnel. They are still ringing today.
