458 socom or 50 bewulf

[6132expert]

One of the 2 are going to be my next build , but which should I do. I would like to get some opinions from the guys here who know more than I do. Let me know the do's and donts and the ins and outs of each when giving your opinions.

I have a RRA 458 socom upper on an YHM lower with a Trijicon TR24R on top.  I absolutely love the rifle and it is a sledge hammer.  You really need to be a reloader to shoot it cheaply and I typically fire bullets ranging from 250gr to 500gr through it (Rem has bulk 300grHP and 405grSP that I reload for my plinking).  You need to check out the website: http://458socomforums.com/  for all your answers.

The reason I went with the socom over the Beowulf are 1) much larger bullet selection, 2) it headspaces off the shoulder, 3) no modifications require to the mag.

I thought about both of these.  But decided on .45acp.  I have an HK USP, and reloading for both with one set of dies is better in my book.  The SOCOM is a hammer though.
