Hi,
I am so happy I found this page. Have been thinking about a heavy calibre sub-sonic suppressed gun for crawling around in the bush here in South Africa. Want to stalk and shoot animals up to the size of kudu (elk size) and maybe eland (moose size). The De Lisle Carbine put me onto the idea. Using the AR platform over here is not an easy option so I will go for a bolt action. The 458 Socom looks great but we are far away from your markets and getting cases, dies and the like is a pain. Thought a 458 2" American will do the trick with 500 gr brass solids with nice big meplat. Can anyone offer advice from their experiences?
