Awesome video thanks for sharing. I just got a bushmaster for Christmas. Finding ammo quite expensive and I got some reloading equipment so I’m give that a shot. Good luck this year. Peace of Lord be with you.
I have had 2 factory FTX bullets blow up on contact on 200 or so lb hogs. I decided to handload as well and the TTSX has performed perfectly for me as well. We’re very close on the Lil Gun. Great video
I may try that. The Bushmaster barrel is not as high quality as that Michigan based Brenton. My buddy’s were touching at 100 yards w that load and barrel. TTSX flies a bit better than TSX. Thanks for input!
Hornady black factory ammo dropped this year’s mule deer where it stood at a 175 yards shot. I recovered the bullet, it almost went through stopping only at the opposite sides hide. It was well mushroomed and maintained weight. I’m impressed alright. I’d buy those 250 grain ftx bullets from hornady for reloading if I could ever find them
If it works for you then keep using it. It flies straight but I don’t think the lead is bonded to the jacket. Midway sells the 450 ftx bullet (quite sure anyway). Try the same load on this video.
My wife ordered me a Ruger Gen 2 450 bushmaster. Arkansas passed it where straight wall cartridge during muzzle loader season. But we can't use semi-automatic rifles. Planning on topping it with a Leupold freedom 3x9x40mm 450 bushmaster model. I use Lil gun in shotgun reloading. Looking at reloading a hornady Interlock 250 gr or a xtp 240 gr. Bear Creek Ballistic has some nice 250 gr copper bullets. But 78.00 for 50 ct. Also going to try the 250 gr flex tip bullets. Alot of public land here. Is overrun with hogs. I would like to try the 450 on coyotes. But we can't use anything larger than a 30 cal.
Consider the Barnes TTSX. To me that’s the Cadillac and is lights out. Will run fine in a bolt. It’s about $1 per bullet but for hunting we pay for so much right down to our boots and gas. The tip of the spear needs to be the best. I never skimp on the gun, optics, or bullet. Good luck!
i noticed on the die kit directions, it said large rifle primers, not small. i know its small primers, just wondering if i saw that right on the die diagram instructions
I’ve been told Hornady has switched to large rifle primer’s although I’m not sure why. The last box of black I bought were still small and I’m not sure what the Starlight brass are. I think either would provide consistency but I’ve never shot or loaded LRPs. I’d use the same data and my guess is you’ll have good results. I wouldn’t mix them obviously.
@@bill_B52H_EW i just looked at my box and they are all large primers. i guess maybe it was a covid thing and they did what they had to do. i guess it wouldnt matter really.
Ill be loading 200gr rtfp hard cast soon here. Got a frw powders on hand but nothing specific to 450 bush. I have the cci 400s and a bunch of hornady once-fired brass. I have imr 4350, unique, and hercules 2400 on hand. May need a new powder.
Yes grab a can of Lil Gun or H110. The burn rate is perfect for what you’re trying to do. 4350 is for high power long range. I’m not familiar with the others. The bullet sounds great. They won’t take a step. Good luck!

Wow, it's almost like watching myself, mostly the same equipment. Good to know the bullets work properly, as Barnes normally do!!
@@Juliang61 thanks for the comment. Simple set up that really works for rifle or pistol. That Barnes bullet is lights out good!

Good luck Robert. I hope you enjoy the caliber as much as I do. Reach out if you have any questions along the way! Peace of HIM to you as well.

That’s a pig killing caliber and bullet. Thx for comment!
When you get a little over 40 gr, specifically 40.2 the groups are touching. I use the 450 ar with an 18” barrel. Good stuff and appreciate the video

I'm using the same amount of powder 35.3 of lil gun. My chronograph is reading 2330 fps that's around 3,000foot pounds of energy. Out of a 20'' barrel

the FTx will hold together if you get the ftx mag bullets , my load is 37.9 grains of LIL GUN ! We’re not far off ! 👍
Thanks for the comment. I’ll check out the ftx mag as I’m a fan of Hornady. Good luck hunting!
Question? If you are loading for competition, why do use a ‘bulk’ loading sequence?

The handguard and barrel match mine , the 20” barrel took awhile to find , 16” barrels were plentiful!
It’s a nice upper. I hope you have as much luck with it as I have had
can you lock the camera down so I don't get seasick from the movement?
What case holder are you using?
I’m quite certain it’s a Lee. Rock Chucker is green.
Hot damn! Comments are on. Thank you to your friend that stopped by to pick up those rounds.
Have you been working out?

You should not use Brasso on cartridge cases. It has ammonia which causes brass to become brittle.
Thank you sir. Always learning. Appreciate that
Good stuff .
Nice
Sooooo, loading a subsonic 150gr sp Hornady. Any sugfestions?
hornaday changed their primer pocket to large pistol primers
No kidding? I wonder why. Thanks for letting me know.
That’s interesting, I wonder why ?
