Wilson Combat .458 HAM'R

[silver_2000_tj]

The Wilson Combat HAM’R is designed from concept to completion to be the hardest hitting, most powerful (practical size) AR platform carbine ever produced, exceeding the ballistics of the .450 Bushmaster, .458SOCOM and .500 Beowulf. By using an AR10 size bolt and barrel extension, this new cartridge is capable of handling maximum pressures of 46,000 PSI while enabling it to exceed 3,000 foot pounds of energy from a short 18” barrel. The .458 HAM’R is more than capable of cleanly killing any animal in North America, stopping a vehicle or blasting through a brick wall. Using purpose designed “hybrid” length receivers, BCGs that are ¾” shorter than a standard AR10 and feeding from a Lancer AR15 magazine, Bill Wilson and the Wilson Combat engineering team have produced the ultimate heavy hitting semi-auto carbine.

Base Price: $2905.00

Stopping a vehicle ? You stop a vehicle by shooting it in the driver, and you do not have to drop 3k on a boutique AR chambered in a proprietary cartridge. If you want to sling slow but heavy lead get a lever gun in 45/70 and load your own ammo and leave the funky shit to shooting range warriors/fools.

But its purdy, too.

Ummmm, no thanks! I've shot my buddy's 458 SOCOM SBR with a suppressor and it's louder (even suppressed) and more violent than anything I'd ever WANT to shoot.

It’s not anything I would buy, as the ammo alone would require the selling of an organ to feed it. They have 2 options for ammo, a 300 grain X-trerem RNFP bullet for 40.00 for a box of 20 and the more expensive 300 grain Barnes TTSX for a mere 70.00 for a box of 20

No thanks, but it sure is pretty as already stated.

Man, those TTSX bullets are the TITS! I would still roll my own at that price.

You are not kidding. I got a batch of factory ammo for cheap that was loaded with them and about fell over when I went to buy some more at Cabelas. It shot great but not 2 dollars per round great.

Man, they really cornered that virtually non-existent market!
Neat idea, pretty to look at, but ultimately kinda dumb.

Whole lot of this. I will never object to new concepts, but won't ever buy into this. Too much of a useless novelty for my needs.

Is .458 SOCOM still a viable round?

No; it is equally as stupid in an AR.

Slow and heavy was perfected before cars were invented and it has never been surpassed in the form of the 45/70.

I've got a lever 45/70. Was thinking a semi auto 45/70 would be cool to have.

A little too pricey for my liking. But still badass. Seems like you could modify an AR10 with a different bbl/chamber and run the modified 45/70 case in it.

That's exactly what they did. You're not paying them for the parts. You're paying them for the engineering.
