I've been checking the info out here trying to decide if one of these would be worth having and from all the info, i'm thinking heck yeah! Well i pulled the trigger on one and should have it in about a week so i'm really green behind the ears on this one. It seems like a bunch of outstanding individuals and very complimentary to the tone of the comments here. Looks like a good group to be associated with. I hope to learn a lot and will have a few questions along the way so bare with me. I reload, so this is another reason i was drawn to the 450b. with all the comments of how versatile the round is. I came across one that has a scope, ammo, dies, and bullets so pretty well set up right off the bat. I'll be looking as to what type powders and primers needed for it and learning about what ever i can. I'm a big fan of the Marlin Levers in the bigger cal's so this will fit right in with my arsenal of big bores. " The big Thumper" I like the sound of that, man i can't hardly wait till it gets here. I'll be hanging out.

Welcome aboard Jeb.
It's like eating cashews, especially if you reload.
There is a good deal going on at Midway on their 45 caliber blem bullets. Past experience has shown them to be a good value in this caliber. Heck in any caliber...
There's a link to it in the Reloading for the 450b sub-forum. Move fast before they're all scarfed up.
