I finally go to shoot my BM 450 with BT .451 bullets. This was my first attempt at a 230 gr. and 300 gr. bullet and they shot well. Speeds were around 2000 fps, a little low but I did not have much data to go on. Not bad for 5 cents a piece.

Very nice.
How is the feeding with that bullet?
B.
Excellent, not even a hick-up. I used flat point, large and small hollow point, and crimped. Everyone fed from the clip and shot well. No feed issues and better grouping (230 gr.) than with cast. This was a test group and the 230 gr bullets were all within a 1 gr. and shot 2-3 in groups, but the 300 gr. were +/- 8 grains. The 300 gr. were on the paper, but not great. I need to perfect my 300 gr. cores and probable need to invest in a core die.
Yep! Looks good. Always like to see the loaded rounds. COOL! Keep use posted with your results
Good shooting and Swage On!
