Welcome aboard Matey,
Just out of curiosity, where did you hear that this is a 200yd weapon??
As for bullets, this site is loaded with intel over bullets, so you might want to do some searching. However, keep in mind that the 45cal has been around so long that we have hundreds and hundreds of bullets choices, and we shoot them all. You'll need a little finesse with the .458 bullets, but they are no problem at all, if you reload and there is a ton of stuff to research here as well, on using .458" bullets.
See, the waters have been muddied by the other Big-Bore AR's and they have all manor of problems, that we just don't have.
Bullet selection, Availability, Costs, and Utility are our, advantageous Haul-Marks and you'll see, in your research, that 200yds is just a walk-in-the-park range, for the 450b... You'll see!!
This site is all about respect, as in, no swearing, no flaming and such, but it comes at a cost. The cost are that, you'll have to share your experiences, so we can all learn and advance this science.
So, pull up a stump, warm yourself by the fire and listen to a tale, by-a-man-named, TexasSheepDog. Just one word of advise, don't believe a word he says about the S'mores, he and that Commander Faschisto, tell the best Swamp Lies, hands down. Am I right guys??
As for myself, the guy with the Halo over his, I only tell the truth about those two
