I had a spare buffer tube, buffer, buffer spring, and fcg lying around. Saw a barrel on sale, and said, "why not?"!

I've read about the issues many have with cast bullets from a semi auto 450 BM.
I went and got the equipment and components for powder coating tonight after work. Just ran my first batch. Not too bad for the super cheap Harbor Freight powder coating! I'm looking forward to trying them in my 450 BM.
Even if they fly straight, I'm a little worried that the large meplat won't let them feed consistently.
If anyone has any load suggestions, I'm open to listening! Thanks!
Update: I should add that I have Lil Gun, H110, and IMR4227 available to use at this time. Thanks!
