If I haven't been sleeping while reading you're like the father of this cartridge?????

Been wondering about which twist would be best. Have read that Bushmaster uses 1/24. That works for Sabot in Muzzies with 250 SST really well, but this a different game.

I wouldn't be able to work with the Green Mountain barrel because of limited income I have to do all the work on this myself other than getting a threaded and contoured barrel that is short chambered for the 450B. I do have a well equipped home machine shop and can do precise work, but, my machines are limited in capacity. Have 2 lathes. One very small manual with radius dials on it. The other a 12x24 manual with a selection of chucks and digital on x and y, but a small head stock, and no taper attachment. Also a mill with digital on all 3 axis.

Well so much for my JUNK-- Hey thanks for the come back and link to Green Mountain. I also would be very interested in learning more about this cartridge and it's development.

Have a good one.

I'm from South central Michigan. Retired machine repairman. Main firearms interest is bolt action rifles and handguns. Small home machine shop allows me to do much of my own gun work. Have had good mentors over the years and don't bubba things.

There is a chance that Michigan will allow rifles with a max 1.800 case length to be used in the Southern part of the state. Bill passed the House and Senate has it now.

I need to toss in a question here. Has anyone built a 450 Bushmaster on a 98 Mauser style action?

Once again, Hello to all
