Those Barnes' at 2400 in my 450B really do a bang up job for some unknown reason, everyone knows .451" and only 245 grs isn't going to break any sec den records, and neither is 2400 fps.


Alexander arms barrel, IE Walther. Not the best in teh world. A bit more than MOA but its ok enough i guess.

Not sure on the bore size, but I shoot 275 Barnes X flying ashtrays in the 16 inch tube. If I carry it in AK I run a bigger bullet, and sometimes not even barnes, something more along the lines of FMJ type, forget which one on that as I have not taken it there in a while.

I expect performance wise there isn't any difference at all between the 450/458 and the 50. Don't see how there could be.
It's a .500. Barnes also makes the 325 and 375 grains. I've loaded them all and they shoot well. I've gone to using 1680 for all the Barnes bullets and also the 300 grain Gold Dot and 334 Rainer.


10-4 Men, that old bonded 325 gr Speer hp bullet would be a fine sd/entry/hunting bullet too, used to smash the hell out of deer and pigs with it saboted in an old 54 cal MK-85 inline over 120 grs P pyrodex, don't remember the velocity, but it held together and penetrated fully.

Trump Won!
