[QUOTE="coyote wacker, post: 3004421, member: 93683"] I handload have never fired a factory round in the 450 Bushmaster.....loading a round by dropping the bolt exerts a lot of pressure almost like using a kinetic bullet puller....another thing to remember theres no crimp grove that can be used to hold the bullet in place also the case head spaces on the cartridges lips...dropping the bolt on a loaded 450 Bushmaster is not like doing it to a 5.56 with a knurled bullet and crimped in the groove its very hard to move.... What I have found is don't charge a round by just dropping the bolt....I ease the bolt down using the charge handle then use the forward assist to seat the bolt down on the cartridge.... One thing to remember when hunting everyday the gun is loaded and unloaded after several times the OAL of a cartridge will get longer until after several times the bullet will get jammed into the rifling and raising pressure and changing accuracy....
