Not out of a 458, but out of a 450 marlin I have shot quite a few with the 325ftx. I have yet to have one run and the insides are jelly without crazy hydrostatic shock. Killed my biggest buck to date with it.

DA, that should do a Bang Up job. Especially with the 300gr Barnes TTSX made specifically for the SOCOM.

On a side note, the Barnes 275gr bullet for the Bushmaster is all a hunter would ever need. Pure deer poison that won't leave shrapnel.
I killed a buck in FL this past Feb. with one from my 45 SML. The bullet entered the neck, traveled up the spine, exited the top of the skull and blew an antler off. DRT.

DA, what twist and length is your barrel? I'm was looking around on Tromix's site and seen the different barrel options. I was thinking I was going to go with either a 10.5" or 12" barrel upper to minimize overall length with a can. Subsonic loads are my plan for this build.
