I don't know if these are .452 diameter or not, nor if they are suitable for reloading for the 450 BM, but any of you who do know may be interested.

They look like the original .451 X-Bullet that they started out with. They had a reputation for loading up the bore with their soft copper, hence the switch to driving bands. Could be wrong though. Price is not any better than just buying their 250 XPB and you get a cannelure for your trouble.

Good dope from Hoot, again and as usual.
