What would reasonable thickness be for 60 degree cones in a 458 socom build? Would 304 or 316 stainless be better for cone material? Will primarily be using supersonic reloads. Would clipped cones help with this caliber as it does with 223?
Thanks for your help.

Re: 458 socom build
I built mine for subs but used a stainless blast baffle and then aluminum cones 0.06" thick. It's not a high pressure round and mine has worked just fine. I did anodize the baffles

So would 0.05" thick work for steel?BCJ wrote:I built mine for subs but used a stainless blast baffle and then aluminum cones 0.06" thick. It's not a high pressure round and mine has worked just fine. I did anodize the baffles
Did you clip your cones?
Re: 458 socom build
I did not clip the cones on that build. It was quiet enough to me without clipping then and I didn't want to have to worry about any possible change in POI from reinstalling each time I cleaned since it's not sealed.
