WTB 450 Bushmaster Cartridge Checker
Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2014 12:48 amDoes someone sell a reloading cartridge checker for the 450b ? I am not a fan of having to drop the reloaded cartridges down the rifle barrel.

Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2014 9:03 amSheridan Engineering makes great ones but not for a 450 BM. I contacted the owner a year or two ago about making one for the 450 BM and he said he was thinking about that. He started making these gauges for a 50 Beowulf because he did not like the thunk test for checking a loaded round. Maybe you and other members of this forum can contact him and convince him to make us one. I would definitely buy one.

Is this the same Sinclair as Brownell's?

Posted: Fri Dec 19, 2014 8:53 amHey Dawg, I think Brownell's owns Sinclair or something like that. I wrote an email to Sheridan Engineering and got the same message.

So that's two separate non related companies, correct?
