The .450 BM is surprisingly a decent mid-range round, I've shot a ton of deer with it in the last 5 years. The ranges around here not long (250 Max) and the .450 is up to the task in my 22" Ruger American. The .450 BM and .350 Legend have pretty much cornered the market in lower Mich with sales being excellent! One of the first things one notices is the factory offerings are all at the bottom of their builds, Cheap plastic stocks, feeding issues and a few more. Having a few Rem SA actions still on hand from the years that I did Varmint builds for P Dogs out west I thought I'd do one last build for my young Grand Son.
