My friend ,who passed away this year from Parkinson, had one in a Remington Ar-15.
Its a boomer for sure. He liked it a lot. Its pretty much a 460S&W but made to be feed from a mag.

Any one use one of these bad boys thinking about getting one looks like a good cartridge for Indiana My buddy is eying one on sale at Rural King. I shoot lefty and am not a fan of bolt guns. I just put together an ar bushmaster 450 but haven't shot it yet. Looks like it uses about the same bullet as my muzzy and moves it a bit faster. Guy at Beech Grove fire arms who builds guns hunts deer with a bm450. Dad uses 458 socom. |

Im interested in these too. Still havent made it beyond that general interest. Not even sure its legal on public or what useful range im looking at.

I think it would be covered under Straight wall pistol was made specifically to conform with Michigan Rules seems to me it’s about like a Cartridge MZL loader Really accurate to about 200 yds I would treat it like and shoot as if my MZL I have my own farm and 100 yd about furthest shot holding and getting extreme accuracy from 0 to 100 with using a cross hair I kinda like Randy’s In Bad Axe Michigan is the guy who come up with it they call it “Thumper “

I think you'll like it. It's public land legal, and I've killed a bunch of critters with mine in an AR. Recoil is very mild with mine, but may be a bit more stout in a bolt action.

Well I got it now for a scope Thinking a 2x7Vx1. Leupold think it can handle the recoil or should I go with a shotgun scope

It should handle the recoil, although I'd be more comfortable with a VXIII. Better grade of glass. In any case, if it pukes, it would be covered under their warranty.

Esshup;i Is the main diff between shotgun and rifle the parelex setting Shotgun set for 75 yds Rifle 100 yards I’ve looked at them today Think the 2 is the one I need but I want the 75 yd paralex setting Due to most shots still Shotgun Range “under 100. “ but really looking forward to the greatly improved accuracy and reduced recoil where I can shoot enough to get good And the trigger Wow got it set for 3-3 1/2 lbs crisp and clean that’s going to make a huge difference

throbak, I doubt the accuracy difference that parallax causes in those 25 yds will show up on paper, even when shooting from a rest on a bench. I've shot deer with a Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40 rifle scope at distances from 20 yds to 218 yards and as long as I hold the gun steady enough the hole is where I wanted the hole to be (no parallax adjustment on that scope).
If you are still concerned with parallax, get a side focus scope, or an adjustable objective scope, and you can dial the parallax out of the scope at any distance.
A scope that will hold up to heavy recoil is a scope specifically built for spring powered air guns. They have a recoil and then a millisecond later they have recoil in the opposite direction when the spring complets it's stroke and the piston and air is at full compression. Those scopes all have either an adjustable objective, side focus or are set at an even closer focus.
If you were only shooting under 100 yds., and the scope parallax had to be set at one distance, I'd pick 50 yds as the most happy medium between long and close range.
If you have the parallax set at 75 yds, then a deer at 50 or 100 would have the same margin of error as a deer at 75 or 125 yds viewed through a scope that had it's parallax set at 100 yds.

Just FYI, CVA makes a single shot in .450 as well. Can get it for under $300. I almost bought one a few weeks ago.
