I'm new to the forum and new to the 450 Bushmaster having just ordered a Ruger American Ranch in 450 Bushmaster last week just waiting for dies to arrive at store before they ship.
I've been loading heavy 330gr - 405gr bullets in 45 Colt and 454 Casull for years even bought a box of 50 Ranch Dog 535gr thumpers but these are to long to fit any of my 454 Casull M92 rifle or handguns I was looking to buy a T/C Prohunter barrel in 460S&W but then started hearing about the 450 BM and wanted a bolt action rifle over another single shot.
I'm looking for loading data and/or experiences with heavy WLNGC and WFNGC bullets 330gr - 345gr - 360gr - 395gr - 405gr - 535gr in the 450 Bushmaster.
I have Blue Dot - AA-9 - 2400 - H110 - LilGun powders on the shelf
I bought this rifle/cartridge combo to be used for fun/camp defence/animal defence/hunting out to 200 yards plan on mounting a Leupold VX1 2-7x LR reticle scope.
I also have 200gr - 225gr - 250gr FTX and 240gr - 300gr XTP-Mags on the shelf I see there is already data available for these bullets though.
Thanks for looking and for any thoughts or experiences.
