I run a 450 BM and have been and continue to be extremely happy with it.

Availability and quality of Hornady factory ammo is outstanding. I hunt deer and hog with a 16" bushy upper on a built lower. Using a Burris MTAC 1-4 on a QD PEPR mount I can consistently achieve five shot groups with all holes touching at 100 yards. I have never, however, required actually firing a follow up shot on any live target, as the Hornady ammo can be best described as the hammer of death. Tracking has to this point been measured in feet, not yards.

Sig polymer AR mags, which can be found at very inexpensive prices for a two pack with a magazine connector included, will function 100% without modification using 450BM. They single stack 11 or 12 rounds per mag without any mod. Some other mags require mods.

No experience with SOCOM, but no complaints with the 450BM. JMHO.
