Greeting! My first 450BM which is a replacement for a Marlin 1894 44mag.
Brand new CVA Cascade in 450 BM. Loaded up 200, 230 and 330 gr bullets with some unique just to see if it would stay on paper. (Long story here about that other rifle) Was pretty happy with the groups but not my bullet selection so I now have a new Lee cast bullet that’s casting to about 259 grains, I’m sizing to 452 and then powder coating them with final size being 454.
Starting with Hogdon Lilgun (new powder for me) and started with 10 of 31gr, 5 of 32 and 5 of 33. These may be under starting loads, hard to tell because load data has loads for 250gr and 275gr. Hope to shoot them this week.
