Hey guys,
I've long had a hankering for a .358 cal AR for hogs and thick woods hunting and plinking with pistol bullets.
I'm looking at the .358 SOCOM from Tromix and the .358 Yeti from Mad Dog for an AR15 sized gun (as compared to a .358 Win in a large frame).
Have any of you got experience with these .35 cal wildcats?
I'm just interested in these two cartridges. No longer considering .350 Legend, .357 AR, or .358 MGP.

- The theoretical performance of the Yeti is really, really interesting, but I'm unsure how comfortable I am pushing the gun to 55-60k psi.
- Forming the SOCOM brass is a lot simpler and quicker (downsizing from 375 SOCOM brass versus the Yeti's more involved process of trimming a .308 case, then chamfering/deburring, then sizing, then fire forming).
- Plus the SOCOM cartridges can use standard AR mags (with the Lancers working well) or the 450 BM mags. The Yeti's case size requires tweaking the feed lips and adding a single stack follower to get the mag working reliably.
