.451 bullets in a 450 Bushmaster

Postby demo_450 » Tue Jul 14, 2009 12:35 am

Can I get away with shooting a .451 in a Bushmaster 450? The reloading data calls for .452 butIts only a .001 difference, but can this screw my rifle up. I loaded a few with no problems. Had no problems loading a 45 colt with the same bullet. Any ideas?

Should be no issue at all using jacketed bullets.

I can't see why it would be an issue at all.

Although, accuracy will not be up to par as compared to a .452 diameter. Unless I can get groups of 2 inches max, I'm not interested. Even with that group size I am dissappointed.
