Ladies, Gents, or Whatevers.
I received the recommendation to join this site yesterday, while on 450Bushmaster.net. I have build a Ar15 .450B with a 10" barrel, and am looking to suppress it.
I believe that cast bullets might be the way to go as it is the only way to get the bullet weights I am looking for (ideally 420gr.), while staying within the proper diameter (without swaging). The attached photo is what I am looking at right now, which does not have a gas check, and I am told that with the velocity I am looking at it should not be a problem.
So this is where I am at so far. My idea was to use a heavy bullet and the right powder (Lil Gun maybe??) to get around 950fps. It may be obvious that I have never cast bullets before, but I do have a small amount of experience in reloading. I am looking for what ever knowledge the collective community has. Also I have no problem with reading material so please (past experiences speaking), if you are just going to tell me to read the forums, don't bother it would take years to get through them. If you have a particular page in the massive database of forums, then please point me in the right direction.
