Picked this AR upper in .450 Bushmaster up in a trade a few months ago. Built a lower for it and have been playing with it since. They are kinda like a Lego set, you can stick a whole bunch of useless stuff on one of these platforms or keep it utilitarian. I have my eye on a Weaver 4X Scout scope as a choice in optics.
I have dies, brass, and a Lee 300 grain mold on the way and can't wait to try some cast boolits. Accuracy is amazing with the Hornady factory load (all I've shot so far) and from all I've been able to read I can expect the same with well crafted handloads.
I have no idea why it fascinates me so and I originally started out looking for a .458 Socom upper, but the issues/cost with finding loaded ammo and brass caused me to trade for this when I saw it on a local online site. There is just something about an AR 15 that will hold 10 rounds of that big cartridge.
I don't name my guns but this one is called The Ogre.
