I have decided to get a 450 Bushmaster. I see that Accurate has sold 6 of their 45-260G. Wondering if any of our forum members are among the 6. Any other cast bullets tried? I will probably start with the Lee 250 gr flatnose .45 colt bullet. I am unlikely to hunt with this since I have plenty of other options.

Any other tips for AR platform cast bullet shooting are welcome.

Excellent. Bring it to a match for “show and tell “.  I’ve been very curious about that round.

I have a 45 Raptor in the AR-10 platform ,but still similar round I shoot a 405 gr powder coated bullet that I size down to .453 load it over 21 grains of 2400 and get groups around 2 in.at 100 yards but is a hammer on deer and hogs .

I do have dies for cartridges that I don't even have rifles for.....

For some reason I keep buying stripped lowers...

For the longest time I even had molds for calibers that I didn't have. Hmmm actually I still do.

Over on that other cast bullet site there are a few threads. Seems 450 Bushmaster works with cast bullets. 

I'm trying to do my part on your last point ken.
