.450 bushmaster

[met eng gun nut]

wondering if anybody on here has one of these. I ordered mine in Feb from cabelas (550$ upper) they sent the ammo but back-ordered the upper.

I have been thinking of getting one myself. Let me know how you like it when you get a chance. I have the 50 Beowulf and it is awesome!

Ammo is cheap and it looks to be the most available for the big bore calibers. right now all i can do is look at the rounds and say man i wish I had an upper

What does the ammo run per 20 rounds?

You can get Hornady FTX 250gr for $27 a box of 20. It isn't too bad.

how long are they thinking it will be on back order?

This is seriously a round that has interested me for a long time. I always have a ton of .452 bullets around and load 454 casull, but don't want to deal with the headache of retooling a set up for bottlenecked casings.

Biggest concern has always been magazines for a 450, does anyone know if normal GI mags can be used reliably with it? Or what needs done?

How about 300+gr hard cast bullets on it?

I think it has it's own magazine. It looks like a GI 30rd mag, but it's been tweeked to feed and function with the 450. I think it only fit 9 rounds in what looks like a 30rd mag. This would be a great setup if Indiana would allow it for deer.
