I would check out Tromix for barrels, parts or anything really. I am in the same boat as you but decided to go with .458 SOCOM for Florida hog hunts. I too live in Ohio and was going back and forth with deciding on 450 or 458, but I just do not do much deer gun hunting (prefer bow). But, Tromix has you covered with 450 as well.

I have an APF 450 Bushmaster 14.5" Pistol. I took a doe with it this year she ran about 60 yds and dropped. Does Ohio have the straigjt wall cartridge deer hunting rule? The 450 Bushmaster is perfect for that ruling. I wish MN where I hunt would change their rules too. The 458 Socom will not work as it is a necked cartridge. I also chose the 450 Bushmaster because ammo is cheaper to buy, commercially available and carried by most Gun Shops amd Big box gun stores.

 450 Bushmaster Pig Shot I have been running (2) 450’s for years now. Great deer gun and outstanding on pigs. Bushmaster w/ 16” barrel. Full muzzle break, enhanced JP buffer spring, trigger job, and 4 ounces of lead added to the carrier to reduce lock time. My 10 year old shot the gun at the time. Above video is my 12 yr old.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes, we have been able to use some straight walled cartridge rifles for a few years. They expanded the list to any straight walled rifle between .357 and .50 cal this year. There is a cartrigde length range it must fall into, the 45/70 and .450 BM are good. This is straight from the DNR: Straight-walled cartridge rifles in the following calibers: New this year! All straight-walled cartridge calibers from a minimum of .357 to a maximum of .50. Shotguns and straight-walled cartridge rifles can be loaded with no more than three shells in the chamber and magazine combined. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have heard the length limit before but have never seen anything official. Do you know where I can find more info? I want to build a 45 Raptor, AFAIK, it's GTG. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Good question. I thought I read that in a news release last summer, but I can’t find that requirement anywhere now. That doesn’t really sway me away from the .450 BM but it’s good to know. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I remember another thread, maybe here, where guys were hunting Ohio with 458 win mags. I'm still searching for OAL limits, but haven't found anything yet.

No OAL case limit for Ohio. Just minimum diameter (.357), and straight wall case. So yes 458 Win Mag or Lott is legal. Ohio went from specific straight case calibers to any straight case to simplify the rules. Although I doubt many hunted this year with a 458.
And to clarify Mag capacity, in a rifle only 3 total in gun, no plug required. In "pistol" it's whatever they hold. The pistol Mag has no limits. |

So I'm thinking about putting together a good deer rifle, even though I have zero experience with the .450 BM cartridge. Looking for an 18" mid-length barrel Planning on 12.5" or 15" Mlok handgaurd Still have questions about buffer options Goal is a light rifle that is consistent to 200yds and could reach out to 250yds. Thoughts or experiences welcome. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nice rifle. 15" handguard?, what optic? Any issues? I had some early issues with the Tromix barrel & bolt. On the barrel the gas port was not aligned with the barrel extension pin, and the extractor would not grab the case. I called Tromix and sent the barrel and bolt back for warranty. After receiving the new barrel, I still had extraction issues and was disappointed that he didn't check the bolt out while he had it. So I called again and Tony sent out a new extractor. It was frustrating but since getting that fixed the gun has been both reliable and accurate. |

Here's mine. Tromix barrel bolt face and brake. Fail zero to carrier, trijicon accupoint 2.5-10 in a bobro mount. Anderson lower and psa upper, ssa-e trigger. Shoots factory ammo and handloads very very well. I've had it for a few years and a few thousand rounds.
