During the development process of Wilson Combat AR-15 rifles in .458 SOCOM we have determined that a properly modified Lancer L5AWM magazine is the most reliable feeding device for the widest variety of ammunition. Lancer’s Advanced Warfighter Magazines combine the best of both worlds for the ultimate hybrid rifle magazine. Perfect for civilians, law enforcement, and the military alike, L5AWM delivers innovative features, improved internal geometry, and an in-house design that takes performance and reliability to the next level. This magazine is ideal for bench rest and prone shooting.
These Lancer 5.56 L5AWM magazine feed lips have been carefully modified in our shop to hold the .458 SOCOM higher in the tube which allows the use of a wider variety of projectile shapes. We also cut a deeper clearance at the front of the magazine body to allow the big SOCOM case to better clear the magazine during the feeding cycle.

458 Feed Issues With These.
I have nothing but feed issues with Underwood .458 SOCOM 300gr. Ballistic Tip and the underwood 458 SOCOM, 300 Grains, Barnes TSX. It jams every time with initial charging or just hit bolt release, jams with the tip pointing up in chamber damaging the casing and round. I haven’t tried my hood solid copper rounds yet in fear of damage. The only round that cycles fine is the flat nose target ammo. This is on Wilson Combat complete upper kit with these mags.

Best 458 Socom Mag
Used this mag on my BearCreek 458 socom upper with a BCM lower. No feed problems for Underwood Ammunition 458 SOCOM 350 Grain FMJ. The 10 round mag would get feed problems even though they are similar. I also tried to modify a PMAG for 458 and it also failed. Save time and headaches. Just buy this mag for your 458.

Great Magazine.
Functions flawlessly with my Wilson upper and Barnes 300gr TTSX bullets. Wilson Combat, how about a modified snail drum for those of us that target shoot and want high capacity?

Excellent Magazine
I ordered 4, 7 round magazines because I wanted magazines marked .458 SOCOM. I was pleasantly surprised to see the modifications . They work flawlessly, even with blunt JHP bullets. How about a 10 round magazine next?
