Yes, I haven't gotten my 450 yet, it's ordered and being made. A 20" bolt gun.....I can't wait
Though its not as punishing as most of the Magnums, do consider a recoil pad if the stock dos not already have one. Sims Limbsaver pads come pre-made to fit many rifle stocks or there is a slip-on one that is not too much like your grand=dad's, old dry rotted slip on. In a bolt gun, that really helps with enjoying the caliber, especially if you enjoy long range sessions, testing different load recipes. It's one thing to shoot during hunting season with heavy clothes on, but in the summer, I'm most likely found at the range with just a tee shirt on. If you don't already have the H110, keep an eye out for Lil Gun. Hands down, its the most versatile in this caliber. Also, if your main interest is deer hunting, the 200gr FTX is a flatter shooting, faster projectile, which is still devastating on deer. Lastly, this is more of a general reloading "other than 450b" sub-forum. There is a Reloading for the 450b sub-forum packed with information and read by more members.
