Shell holder

Postby scottfisher » Thu Mar 13, 2014 3:07 am

Which shell holder do I use to reload 450 Bushmaster? Can I use a standard 223 shell holder? I got my dies and directions don't say anything. The Hornandy book doesn't say. I tried looking on the Midway site and didn't come up with anything. Don't have my brass yet so I cant really see if a 223 will work.

If you are looking for a Hornady holder, it is number 1 - 450 BUSHMASTER .458 1 392601 390541. Here is the link - http://www.hornady.com/assets/files/shell-plate-chart.pdf. The BM 450 is in the third column. But you probably want the RCBS equivalent, so I will pass on that one.

The case head/rim is pretty much 06/308/284, (and a plethora of other similar cartridges) etc, etc. The most common shell holder on the market..
