I have been thinking about building another hard hitting AR-15. Originally I was thinking about either the 458 socom or 375 socom. Looking at the supersonic ballistics of the 338 ARC it kind of intrigues me. I would be primarily be using it supersonic. Would it be worth building or should I stick with one of the socoms?

I actually already have a 450 bushmaster and it's a lot of fun. It's great for deer and pigs, maybe smaller black bear. With the 450 using pistol bullets I was looking to make a step up to something that maybe hits as hard or a little harder with better bullets for larger black bear and possibly other game no bigger than whitetail deer.
The end of my last post was supposed to have read game bigger than whitetail deer. My stupid phone got a mind of its own....
I don't know who wrote that article but the 338 spectre was based off cut down 6.8 spc brass or 10mm Magnum brass. Marty Ter Weeme designed the cartridge along with the .458 Socom
If anybody is a fan of the 300 BO, I'd think they'd like the 338 ARC even more. I don't feel the need, as mine are different and satisfied with more speed than weight.
Have you considered 450 Bushmaster? Brass isn’t expensive and it uses .452 bullets made for 460 S&W and 454 Casull.
