USA -(AmmoLand.com)- Although first conceptualized many years ago by the U.S. Military, the .458 SOCOM cartridge has seen a major spike in popularity over the past few years.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, the .458 SOCOM it is a cartridge designed to bring a much bigger punch to the AR platform. Its projectiles range from 250-600 grains and are loaded to both super and subsonic velocity.
One of the obstacles that has been preventing widespread acceptance of the .458 SOCOM is the price of ammo. An obstacle which is now falling. It used to be that .458 SOCOM ammo cost $2.50-$3.50 per shot. Now, thanks to Black Butterfly’s CTX Ammo that is no longer the case.
Available in 20-round boxes and 100-round cases, Black Butterfly’s CTX ammo cost $1.70 per round. The CTX features a 300 grain frangible bullet travelling at 1675 FPS and carrying over 1800 FT. LBs. of energy.
The ballistic stats of the CTX are not remarkably better than those of other .458 SOCOM rounds, but the price is. We can only hope that the CTX will continue to drive .458 SOCOM prices lower.
