Questions...

New to the board, thinking about a big-bore AR upper. I see BushMaster has theirs on sale. I have perused this board, and had some questions answered. But I would like clarification on a few things...
1. Can one reload this cartridge using .45 ACP pistol bullets (sized to .452) for bunny-fart practice loads... with success? I would use Hornady factory stuff "for real"...
2. I'm still not clear on how one modifies standard 30 round AR magazines to function reliably. Although, the new BM nine-rounder may make that point moot... anyone tried it yet?
3. Will your basic composite collapsible stock stand up to the recoil? I plan to put this on a stock BM lower. The lower is from four years ago, before Cerebus bought them out and QC began sliding.
I have been intrigued with this idea for some time, but am ready to pursue it now. Thanks for any suggestions/information.
