It fun to experiment to try to get that "Perfect Load" just need to respect the limitations given when it comes to pressure....remember the AR-15 was built for one reason as a "fighting gun" in with the little 5.56 in "rat" caliber....in comparison the 450 Bushmaster started out as a fat 284 Winchester cut and stuffed to fit....
I can say I have only seen 2 AR-15's damaged in the 450 Bushmaster but 6 in 6.8 SPC every time it has been bolt lugs braking....luckily no one was hurt....
Also remember if a load you are using is LARGER than a published load by a reliable source with "pressures".... don't give the powder charge because somebody will try it....because most people just don't read everything and understand what they read....
We live in a society of instant gratification sorry to say reloading doesn't fit there and never will....
