| what big bore upper do you like and why? 450 bushmaster 454, 50. |
|
458 socom just because thats what I have . so far I have killed two solid concrete foundation blocks but I dont know how to field dress them.
anybody got any good recipes? actually I bought mine because I done a bunch of reading and liked what I read about marty at teppo jutsu and how he interacts with people on the 458 forum and shares info freely. |

450 Bushmaster!
Yes I have one so I am a little bias but it has many attributes that I think make it the best of the three. No the 450 will not feed 10 rounds reliably from an aluminum gi mag, but it does feed 10rounds from the sig 556 mags The hornady ammo for the 450 bm is cheep by comparison. 23.95 box at the cheapest The hornady ammo is very accurate. my largest groups are 1.5in at 100yds with crap trigger many people get better Remington is roling out a new round for the 450bm. Rem ammo is crap but they are the second major ammo manufacturer to produce 450 ammo The 450 has a flat trajectory due to the 250 grain pill. The 450 is a killer http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=121&t=417193 http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=121&t=406145 Reloading the 450 is easy! Using Hornadys reloading info you can surpass the factory loading by about 100fps accurately. Edit You do not have to reload to take advantage of this round. It uses standard ar lower and standard buffer spring just like the other two I do respect the other two rounds I just prefer the 450 BUSH MASTER. |
| Realistically.... you need to read up on each and see which fits you best. Your asking a question on a site which is akin to "who is your favorite team" even the losing teams have a fan base regardless of record... Just a thought. Read and decide for yourself is how I answer these questions these days. |
I just got started on my 458 SOCOM. The selection of bullets alone makes me feel like a kid in a candy store.... And I haven't even gotten to shoot it yet.  It was sort of an impulse buy even though I'd been wanting one for years. But the number of Marlin lever loadings available for the 45-70 just makes it too much fun.
