Also took a pic to better show the length of the cuts.

Your welcome. Judging by what the 458 socom’s do, I’m hoping over an inch.

Mainly subsonic. I want to see if my 12.5" BHW will stabilize them. I don't have a suppressor right now, but I've been contemplating it. If I can find a barrel around 9.5"-12.5" for a decent price, then I will probably do a sub build. Right now, just AR's, no bolt gun. Although a Ruger Scout might be really good for this, until you try hanging a suppressor off of it.

I might run them supersonic, just to see what kind of speed they can hit, but don't think I would use them for anything. If you look up Black Butterfly's 458 Socom 400gr Turbo Saw, you'll see that at supersonic velocities the petals rip off.
