Title: .450 Bushmaster
Post by: DMCakhunter on August 13, 2020, 09:26:19 PM

Hi all,
Just picked one of these up at gunbroker. Anyone have any experience with this round?
Am eager to try out the Hornady subsonic load and hope that the 1-22” twist is sufficient.
Thank you

Nope, never used it.  I wonder about the availability of the ammo.

There is plenty where I shop - midway, SG ammo.

Even with ammo available it is a reloaders caliber.  Not a very wide selection.  It is a straight cartridge so feeding and operation tend to work with low amount of tuning required in semi autos.
