can a 458 socom obtain 2200 jules at 100 meters and would an AR-15 be able to support that load?
i wanna build a sick looking cursed gun just to piss my competition (extreme range) shooting brother off by creating a potato launcher able to legally take down moose.

Leave everything default except the ammunition section and use a site like ballisticsbytheinch to fill that in. Don't get the g1 and g7 mixed up and if you can't find it posted somewhere use a different load that does.
It won't tell you your holds that way but you'll get your energy.
Probably with a long enough barrel, like 24"
I only just got into reloading Socom so I haven't gotten to play with anything really interesting yet.
that would be a 325 grain FTX at 1450fps, which is doable as a target at 100m. wiki says you can launch a 325 at 1860fps.
you think an AR would take that beating?
i'm basically just after something that can feed in an AR mag and still meet these requirements, also the bullet has to be larger than 6,5
an AR should be able to handle the standard pressures. I'm on a business trip, so I don't have my manuals, but I figure if it has at least 1700fps at the muzzle it'll probably make the cutoff at 100m. I would recommend getting a name brand bolt like tromix for durability reasons.
any other calibers that fit within the 223 mag that can do this?
450 bushmaster or less?

^^mby this can do it?
i just need something that fits in an AR mag
448 would be REALY pricey to convert because id need to change up a bunch of parts
(like pump "ring")
oof was reply to
how can i find out load when all i know is how to take em in the face, math isn't my thing-
my brother is always the one who writes down grains and help order bullets to fit standards
OP is asking just a bit too much for 350L.
50 beowulf
Playing around in Quickload I was able to get the 350gr Hornady RN 4502 to 1850 fps with a 20" barrel. That kind of velocity is doable, but it's getting pretty close to max pressure with a standard AR-15 bolt head. It would be trivial in a CMMG.
>can?
Yeah
>should?
Also yeah
yeah

- do not want 45-70 lever action, that shit knocks me on my tiny ass.
Yes, that's doable though it's towards the upper end of what I'd try out of a basic AR. There's two problems here: Most .458 Socom bullets have terrible ballistic coefficients so you need a higher muzzle velocity than you might think to maintain 2200 joules at 1000 yards. Second, the conversion to make the .458 Socom cuts a lot of material out of the bolt face of the AR. On an AR-15 sized bolt the edges become very thin and the bolt head can fail. However if you build it on a larger platform that is not a problem. Picrel shows the difference. Bolt on the right is an AR-15 .458 Bolt. Bolt on the left is AR-10 size, in this case from the CMMG.

And if op NEEDS to use an ar15 lower (vs ar10), .50beowulf.
op seems to need to do so, it "just" needs to be larger than 6.5 carry 2200 joules at 100m while also fit inside a 223 magazine,
>op is a shit for brain brick brain and cant figure this one out.
>op is cry.
That 335gr .50beo will give him approx 2700j @ 100yds (same as 100m, don't care what anyone says, fight me).
>israelitels
You are a noguns eurofag or a spacebattler
had tikka t3, boring to shoot- brought no joy.
found out i do enjoy pump action, lever action fucking with my hand to much
cant have 50..
doesn't matter what load, any 50 is no-no here.
>any 50 is no-no here.
that sucks.
