[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1362230, member: 2736"] Be sure and check your state regulations (Some states have a Maximum case length stipulation and the 450 bushmaster, the 450 Marlin and the 45/70 exceeds some of them. (over 2.00''). I bought an AR 15 Upper in 450 Bushmaster and I am very pleased with the power and knock down in an AR format. It does a tremendous job on hogs also. I also built a 460 Smith & Wesson rifle that can be used in those states that have the maximum case length requirement of 2.00" (The 460 case is 1.8"). I had thought about building a 450 Bushmaster in a bolt action rifle also but having a 460 pistol and the AR 450 bushmaster the 460 just made more sense. In the AR, the 450 Bushmaster can produce just over 2800 ft/lbs of muzzle energy using a 250 grain bullet. The 460 using a 200 grain bullet produces over 3800 ft/lbs of muzzle energy in the 24"rifle/barrel due to the velocity it gets. I am going to test the potential of the 250 grain Flex tip to see what it will do in the 460 S&W. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
