Using a purpose-designed &#8216;hybrid&#8217;-length receivers, bolt carrier groups that are .75-inches shorter than a standard AR-10 and feeding from a Lancer AR-15 magazine, Bill Wilson and the Wilson Combat engineering team have produced the ultimate heavy-hitting semi-auto carbine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The .458 HAM&#8217;R cartridge is essentially a .458 SOCOM Magnum with a longer case shoulder loaded to as much as 46,000 PSI. By comparison, .458 SOCOM&#8217;s max pressure load is 35,000 PSI.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson pulls this off by using an oversize AR-10-based bolt and barrel extension sized to fit in an AR-15-length receiver.<\/p>\n<p>Right now the company&#8217;s offering two .458 HAM&#8217;R rifles, the Tactical Hunter and Ultimate Hunter. They also have <a href=\"https:\/\/shopwilsoncombat.com\/458-HAMR\/products\/1021\/\" campaign=\"WC-HAMR2\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">two loads ready to go<\/a>, a lower-cost ball load and an all-copper hollow point for taking game. Wilson Combat uses Starline brass with Barnes and X-Treem bullets for their ammo.<\/p>\n<p>Like a lot of Wilson products, these are high-end, semi-custom rifles with a lot of parts designed and built in-house. In addition to the specialized bolt and barrel components, they also have custom buffers and machined billet receivers.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all the over-built components the rifles still manage to weigh less than 8 pounds. Without optics the Tactical Hunter weighs 7 pounds 11 ounces unloaded. Thanks to carbon fiber components the Ultimate Hunter weighs even less at 7 pounds 4 ounces.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wilson-combats-new-edc-x9\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"wilson-combats-new-458-hamr-hot-hybrid-cartridge-pushes-the-limits\" title=\"Wilson Combat's new .458 HAM'R \u2013 Hot Hybrid Pushes the Limits\">Wilson Combat&#8217;s EDC X9 Brings the 1911 into the 21st Century<\/a><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_84827\" style=\"width: 1642px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84827\" title=\"Wilson Combat's new .458 HAM'R \u2013 Hot Hybrid Pushes the Limits\" class=\"wp-image-84827 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/458-hamr-rifles-wilson-combat.jpg\" alt=\"Wilson Combat's new .458 HAM'R \u2013 Hot Hybrid Pushes the Limits\" width=\"1632\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/458-hamr-rifles-wilson-combat.jpg 1632w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/458-hamr-rifles-wilson-combat-150x42.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/458-hamr-rifles-wilson-combat-400x112.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/458-hamr-rifles-wilson-combat-768x216.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/458-hamr-rifles-wilson-combat-1024x287.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1632px) 100vw, 1632px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-84827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Tactical Hunter, top left, and Ultimate Hunter, bottom right.<em> (Photo: W.C.)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The main difference between the models are the stock assemblies. The Tactical model has a telescoping carbine-style Rogers\/Wilson Super-Stoc while the Ultimate rifle has a fixed skeleton carbon fiber stock fitted with a Limbsaver recoil pad. The tactical model also has a threaded barrel.<\/p>\n<p>Both models have fluted barrels with adjustable mid-length gas systems. They also come standard with Wilson Combat triggers set at 4 pounds. They both use the same 14.6-inch modular M-Lok free-floating handguards.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing on these guns starts at $2,905. Other accessories including scopes are not included.<\/p>\n<p>While that&#8217;s on the high side for an AR-based rifle, these guns aren&#8217;t like anything else on the market. And because they&#8217;re made by Wilson Combat, they&#8217;re also built to a standard few companies can match.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this hot cartridge and hybrid rifle design?
