Thinking about building a .50 Beowulf or .458 Socom AR. Any one every put one of these together? Is there an advantage to one or the other? Any tips, tricks or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Uncle Fester has a .458 Socom AR PISTOL
458 socom takes standard unmodified AR magazines. The others require modifications. So if you already have a pile of AR mags, you won't need to buy more or modify them.!
Have you considered the 6.5 Grendel?
No tell me more!!!!!!!!
It's a lot easier than you might think. Alexander Arms, Wolf, and most recently, Hornady manufacture ammunition. Components can be purchased from the usual suspects, Alexander Arms, Redding, Lee, Forster, and Hornady. The prices are comparable to shooting/reloading the .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM. The end result is a versatile, flat shooting AR.Go here to learn more about the Grendel. I think the obtaining ammo and reloading components for the Grendel would be even tougher, but then again you'd have a really nice long range AR with some punch to it even though the round itself is seriously fugly .
