Cast Bullets in the .450 Bushmaster

[Donkin]

Anybody loading cast for their .450 Bm?

I picked up some .452 325gr Cast with gas check, and cant seem to find any load data.

Is there a "rule of thumb" by using data for conventional bullets less 20% lets say?

I really enjoy shooting this caliber, and would like to find an economical load.

Thanks.

Best check with the guys on Castboolits. Someone there has just about loaded cast into everything.

If they are hard cast you should be fine using regular load data.

Just a quick update, i have had good results with a 325gr Cast bullet with gas check with 30gr H110

Accuracy, around 3" grouping @ 100m

Recoil is less than factory ammo.

At least i can now shoot this awesome caliber cost effectively and hit steel @ 100m
