I got my 450 today-------2nd day from Mi.--------looks good on my Dblstar lower---scope mounted,brake installed,one box of Hornady 250gr FTX--------range-time Tuesday...
Playtime about 9:00AM at fcvcc
Full range report with pics required. Dont be afraid to put a extra power buffer spring to help recoil.
Is the QC for the 450 Bushmaster barrels hit or miss? Do some have proper sized gas ports and others just huge? I ask because I've shot a couple different 450BMs, 16" and 20" and neither have kicked that much. Less than a 308 carbine DI gas system 308. I know several people with them as well and they say theirs don't recoil much as well.
But I've talked to several people and have read several people saying that the 450BM kicks the hell out of them.
So IDK
Not QC. Physics. Per wikipedia for ballistics performance 5.56 NATO vs. 450BM...
