The bottom lip of the bolt that is hinged picks up the .450 brass no problem considering the BM sits higher in the mag than a .223 would. The round goes half way in and stops without binding, it wants to jump in the hole. Bolt-face is just a smidgen to small to take the BM. I have high hopes right now Of course it all depends on what WC has to say about it.

God Go BBS,
Shoot it some so you can appreciate the conversion more. Is the barrel fluted, if it is, it will depend where the fluting stops and if we can get 16"'s out of it or hopefully the fluting isn't too deep. Got to wait and see. Can you post a close-up pic of the barrel? PM me and we'll exchange cell numbers. When we talk, you'll need a tape measure, cleaning rod, and a mic or calipers. Worst case sinerio, is we'll have to build a barrel from scratch, no biggie..
