475 ODIN

[DianneB]

Here is a first look at our new 475 ODIN, still in development. Designed to feed through an AR-10.  There is no parent case.

Barrels are being made, so we’ll be able to have some real numbers soon.

ODIN is the top case. 458 SOCOM is in the middle, and 308 below that.







Here it is next to a 6.5 Creedmore case

Nice.  How many fps will you pick up over the SOCOM with your 475?

They are meant for two different rifles. 458 SOCOM is for the AR 15, 475 ODIN is for the AR 10.
It’s going to be a lot.

Well, just when I was thinking being impressed with women who SHOOT firearms was becoming commonplace, along comes DianneB.

There's nothing commonplace about DB.  She worked on C5s in the USAF.  BIG is in her DNA.

And a bit cagey as well.  I'm going to be hanging on a thread until I found out how much "a lot" means.

ODIN....I can see a tough looking Viking warrior emblazoned on an AR-10 receiver now.

Speed, actually lack thereof, was always something with the 458 SOCOM that made me less interested in it.  So, I pursued other things of shooting interest.  My perception was, and perhaps incorrectly, that the 458 was a competitor to the 44 mag I already had.  Now yes, I could run it in an AR body, et. al. with a new upper I got that.  But in my mind if I really wanted to step up to a slugger I'd go with the 45-70 or my 450 Marlin. 

So, something in between that in performance...more than the 458 and equal to or less than a full power 45-70 in a semi-auto AR-10 pattern is interesting.

I’m being a bit vague about the answer until we get it to the desert and test it and validate our calculations about how fast it should be.  At 800 yards, the calculations say it should still be going 1,017 FPS, for example.

If you guys can pull that off it may be the pre-eminent running hog stopper.

We are thinking about changing the name to avoid a copyright issue with another company who registered ODIN for ammunition even though they don’t currently make any...

Carrying on a Viking theme.

I prefer the first and last ones.
