Started to load the 450 bm for bear hunting in New Brunswick.
Heard good things about the Barnes txs 275 bullets.
Loading info from Barnes indicates a c.o.a.l of 2.225. If you use the first cannula, loading into starline cases the c.o.a.l is 2.3344. The magazine easily takes the longer cartridge and it loads and ejects fine. If I push to spec. c.o.a.l., the crimp will be above the cannula. I can see that as an advantage for head spacing as crimps in cannulae tend to need special attention so they protrude enough.
Anyone load these bullets and have experience with them in a Ruger American rifle?
thanks,
BBD
