My Question.............
I am interested in using the Speer (item 4750) 45 Cal 230 Grain Encased Core Full Metal Jacket as a target/general purpose bullet in the 450 Bushmaster. Would this bullet hold up to the velocity of the 450B? Would there be a better low budget bullet option for that cartridge?
Rifle -
Firearm Make/Model: Bushmaster xm-15
Cartridge: 450B
Bullet Style: FMJ
Bullet Weight (Grains): 230
Primer: CCi sm. rifle
Powder: w296, universal, or powerpistol
And this is the answer I received.......
Charles,
This bullet would likely hold up to those kind of velocities but there will be no load data found for this as this is not a SAAMI Approved round at this point so nothing has been tested on this.
