Description
Buffalo Bore's 47D20 load is purpose-built for serious big game hunting with AR platform .458 SOCOM rifles. The 400 grain semi-jacketed flat point bullet is loaded to maximum SAAMI specifications, delivering the kind of penetration and terminal performance needed for game weighing over 2000 pounds. This isn't lightweight practice ammo, it's a working hunting load designed to take bison, moose, and large bears cleanly.
Semi-Jacketed Flat Point Bullet Design
The 400 grain SJFP bullet uses proven design that's been tuned for deep penetration on heavy game. At the 1550 fps velocity of this load, the bullet mushrooms reliably and delivers straight-line penetration through vitals and heavy bone. The tough construction means you get consistent expansion without bullet failure on impacts with major skeletal structures. This type of bullet has a track record with serious hunters who refuse to compromise on reliability.
Hunting & Sniping Strictly Business Load
Buffalo Bore builds this round to perform at close to medium range in the context of what the .458 SOCOM is designed for. You're looking at roughly 2134 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, which translates to the kind of knockdown power that makes follow-up shots less critical. The round feeds reliably through AR platforms and delivers the accuracy you need to place your shot right the first time on big game. Non-corrosive boxer primed brass means you can reload if you want to, saving money on future hunting seasons.
Loaded to Maximum Specifications
Buffalo Bore doesn't leave power on the table here. Their ammunition is loaded to maximum SAAMI specifications, which is why this load performs as well as it does on game. You get consistency shot to shot and performance that matches what real hunters report in the field. The brass is new production and clean, so setup in your magazine and chamber goes smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size game is this 458 SOCOM load suitable for?
The 47D20 is designed for large North American game animals weighing over 2000 pounds, including bison, moose, and large bears. The heavy 400 grain bullet with flat nose design delivers the penetration needed for these animals. At 1550 fps, the bullet mushrooms reliably while maintaining the straight-line penetration required for large game.
Can I reload these brass cases?
Yes, the ammunition comes in new production brass with boxer primers, which makes it reloadable. This is helpful if you plan to shoot this caliber regularly and want to reduce costs on future rounds. Standard reloading equipment and components for .458 SOCOM will work with the fired brass.
What is the difference between SJFP and other bullet types?
Semi-jacketed flat point bullets like these combine a softer lead core that expands on impact with a jacket that holds the core together during penetration. The flat nose profile aids in expansion and is particularly effective on big game. This design is more reliable than pure soft points on heavy animals and provides better penetration than lighter, faster-expanding bullets.
Will this ammunition work in modern AR platform .458 SOCOM rifles?
Yes, this Buffalo Bore load is designed specifically for modern AR-15 platform rifles with 458 SOCOM uppers. The ammunition is loaded to maximum SAAMI specifications and feeds reliably through standard 458 magazines. Make sure your rifle is a modern firearm capable of handling the power levels of this ammunition.
