I’m eyeing that .450 now in a pistol. I got a Palmetto SB4 brace multi-lower headed to my LGS. The twist on the 450 will not allow too heavy a slug for subsonic, maybe 405 gr, but that’s plenty big, isn’t it? If you want heavy bullets you need the .458 SOCOM with its much faster twist. I’m interested in a compact “pistol” that can pump out my .45 Colt projectiles at .454 speeds and not hurt me. I shot a .50 BW at the Confederate Sixgunner’s shoot. Bangs around the aluminum chassis pretty good, and I’m not big on the .501 anyway. All my stuff is .510”.

This AR stuff is just a modern type of saddle gun thing. As I’ve crowed before the 350 and 450, are to me, just modern versions of the 1907 .351 WSL and 1910 .401 WSL.

Some initial success. Black hunting, fun, rifle - WB, 2019-12-08, 19:54
