Use ONLY the MFGs that use a heavy Jacket.. Like Mag Tech FMJs or Hornady FMJs. Gunny also uses another brand, but the key is a heavy copper jacket. METAL CLAD/ Plated bullets will come apart and that's dangerous.Stay away from Rainier and Berry and use those only for your pistol loads.
FYI, Midway USA has Hornady factory brass for the 450 Bushmaster in stock. Get you a Rock Chucker Press. You will love them. I have one that's 28 years old and still works great. I have another Rock Chucker that I bought a few months ago so now I can have a bit more flexibility while finalizing the crimping processes and it gives idle teenage hands something to do when I'm processing large runs.
Hornady's 9th edition of their reloading handbook will be out Dec 1, so the 8th edition is going for about $20, a $10 discount off new. It has BM450 loading data in it, but there may be more in the 9th edition. I don't know that the 7th edition had BM450 info in it.
