I work with very good machinist and toolmakers. I'll keep picking there brains for ideas. Until then, I'll go with the good ol acronym K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid)!
Oh and by the way, My ammunition comes tomorrow!! By that time, I should have everything installed and mounted to get this bad boy, punching holes!!

It's 8 degrees outside as I type this, so I envy those of you who live where it is still good shooting weather. Not so much when it's the middle of the summer and it's 75 here. Anyway, Chief let me recommend one of the best purchases you can make for your 450b, before you shoot it, if it's not too late. Get a Sims Limbsaver, slip-on recoil pad. That meat tenderizer butt plate can be harsh when tee shirt weather returns. Not so important when you're bundled up against the cold though. Walmart sells a Winchester branded version that is a Sims Limbsaver re-branded. They are one in the same, but the Winchester branded one sells for $10-15 less than the Sims. The packaging even say Sims on the back.
Here's a Link to the thread. Using a slip-on recoil pad does not make you a wuss. There were days early on when I might go through a hundred 450b rounds in one setting doing various reloading experiments, in tee shirt weather. That Sims earned it keep!
