Any one have real life experience using 458 socom, makers 500 gr bullets?

I have a load worked up that is running 1070 fps.

I have a tag this year. I want to shoot one with subs, but I am worried about wounding an animal.

Check the load data section on the .458 SOCOM forums.  Do a search on 500 gr. Maker and there are a lot of posts regarding the use of this bullet.  I have not personally used those bullets myself though.

Then type in "500 gr. Maker"

Not Socom, but I did a bunch of stuff with the 450 Bushmaster, shooting big 405gr bullets. I went Bushy because it seemed easier to deal with than the Socom.
