.450 Bushmaster

[eddiememphis]

I have been looking at them and doing research for a while, since I got the big bore bug.

I really want a .375 H&H but the cost of a new rifle I will rarely shoot is not worth it.

The price of the .450 BM ammo is reasonable compared to socom and beowulf, considering I don't handload and likely wouldn't shoot it often.

I like the idea of an upper assembly that I can swap with ease. Go from pew pew to BOOM BOOM!

What brand should I be looking at? I have seem then as low as $225 for a complete upper assembly.

Or a better question is there a brand or manufacturer I should avoid?

They?ve come down a lot if the $225 is accurate.

I have a nice Moriarti Arms complete upper I tired to sell 6 or 8 months ago with no takers. I don?t know where she (the owner) gets her barrels but it?s stupid accurate at 100 yards. I would buy from them again.
I like the cartridge and I?m pleased with what I got from Moriarti. I was selling it because I need to simplify and could use the spot in the safe. And I don?t really *need* a .450 bushmaster.

I can?t upload a pic from this tablet for whatever reason, but I?ll edit when I get to my pc. Just a picture of the groups it gives me with the loading data.


Edit to add - I also had excellent success modifying magpul 5.56 mags to work reliably with the .450 cartridge.

I bought one from Bear Creek Arsenal. It was $240 complete. Waiting on ammo to show up then need to find somewhere to shoot it. May go down to Dragonman's next week, even though I live across the street from Cherry Creek. $22 plus a parks pass is too expensive.

Risking your life to hang out with gang bangers and give Mel $$$ is not worth it.

Hah! The two times I’ve been to Bernstein’s in the last 20 years I haven’t had any safety concerns. My issue is giving money to Mel.

I don't know what that means. I take it Mel is Dragonman and the place has sketchy characters hanging around? What's wrong with Mel that you refuse to give him your business?

I have never been down there.

The hornady black is very accurate in mine. For what it's worth.

How did this turn out?

I'd like to know if you ever put your rifle together and got it sighted in as well. Got a report?
