    Interesting. I think I may abandon the idea. I can get 350 cast to shoot nice tight groups and of course Grendel its hard not to get a 1" or better group, albeit with jacketed.

    I make allowances for 6.5 Grendel simply because I find it to be the perfect low recoil hunting cartridge, but yeah. A thumper like 450B is only attractive if cast will work. If not, no biggie I...

    What is out there? Mostly I see data for jacketed. Need it to feed in an AR, and it would be nice if I could go heavy enough that it cycles the action without the need for a gas check.

    Cast in 450 Bushmaster?

    Anyone tried this in an AR? I was thinking a heavy plain based coated bullet might be interesting to play with.
