    Where are my fellow 450 Bushmaster Handloader s at?

    Let’s get this party started with some chatter about what we’ve tried and loaded so far. I’m getting ready to use the Starline I got from Wes with the Barnes 275 TSX’s.

    Here... I bought a ton of brass and I also got some 225 and 250gr FTX bullets. The Hornady factory ammo did very well so I loaded up some test rounds and my test rounds for the 250 fell right where the factory ones did. Tight group so I quit tinkering.... When II get a suppressor... I will be having lots of fun

    Have you 450 bushmaster guys noticed run out in the ar platforms if so how have you cured it ?
    Friend has a AR in 450 bush and he noticed his bullets running forward after a couple shots they are crimped the same as factory. Any help would be great

    I only have a bolt gun. I’m sure one of the other guys will chime in.

    If factory rounds aren’t doing it and his are they are NOT crimped like factory. Try putting more crimp to it. Or, shoot factory ammo. Not many alternatives, sorry.

    Lil’ gun, H110 and IMR 4227 for powders. I got best with 4227. The 250 FTX is nice and even though I’ve never had any issues with deer some say they don’t have much of a trail. Mine haven’t gone more than ten yards. I have been shooting the Barnes TSX in 275 gr which has similar trajectory I had with FTX and also shoot great. Using Hornady CG dies.
