Also used A2 stock with rifle buffer this time with Tubbs CWS.
Groups were about the same except a little low left with the A2 stock.Adjusted scope since I like the A2 stock better for the 450.
Velocity went around 2430 to 2470 fps.Then went to 38 grains lil-gun and ES tightened up more.
Liked that load the most.
1 inch 3 shot groups and 1 group went 2463,2468,and 2470fps.
Es is better with this COL and side crimped .470 around .100 from case mouth.
The rifle shoots 1 inch groups with the 38 grain load with good ES.
Getting around 220 fps increase in velocity over 250 factory load.
Probably going to use this handload during hunting season.

The 200gr FTX is also a good choice and even more flatter shooting due to an increase in velocity over the 225. They are a little more fussy about crimp due to their lighter weight though, but still more uumph than many popular whitetail calibers out there.
