    I handled one a few days ago. Looking down the bore, holy sh!t...

    I almost did one as a custom project but went with .300-221 because it has more capacity and is many many times cheaper to load for - as well as working well in the AR platform without much modification.

    Is it practical to shoot one of these if you don't reload? I'm wondering how many people take a 458 to the range and sweep their brass into the bucket?

    Interesting note on Wiki about the 450. It was originally consider for the SOCOM round, but rejected because it required steel proprietary to GM for the bolt/receiver to withstand the pressure. Is this still the case?
