biggstriper Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I also bought a couple of boxes of Win. 250 grain ammo to break it in with. I put a cheep red dot on it and I'm thinking it shoots good enough at 150 yards to hunt deer with. The Bucks stop here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggstriper Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) I've found a nice load for the rifle using 296 powder, cases from Winchester ammo and 240 gr. Hornady XTP Mag bullets. I'm good out to 200 yards using shooting sticks. The next step is to take sandbags and a bench to see how accurate the load can be. You have to get used to the huge muzzle blast from the rifle even though the recoil is pretty tame. Must look pretty cool in the dark. I'm using a Limbsaver pad.

chessie_yaker Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I have to admit that I know close to nothing about the 450Bush outside of seeing a bunch of fairly priced uppers chambered to it. I’m guessing that if it’s pushing a 240-250gr flat near 200yds it’s got a nice thud to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggstriper Posted August 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) If you mean recoil...not as much as you'd think. BTW- I put an old 2x7 scope on it that was on a used rifle I bought years ago. The thing works pretty good on this rifle. Edited August 16, 2019 by biggstriper chessie_yaker 1 The Bucks stop here...

chessie_yaker Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Not so much just recoil, but thud in general. A lot of umph behind that projectile to get it to fly that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggstriper Posted August 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 More than I expected. I wanted something a little easier to handle than the 45-70s I have. The light weight of this gun kinda offsets and advantage you'd have from the smaller bullet (as in ammo) but it's manageable. chessie_yaker 1 The Bucks stop here...
