I bought a 20" upper last year directly from BM when they were on sale. I've only shot the Hornady FTX 250 gr. factory ammo, I've never reloaded. I have it mounted with the Leupold Ultimate Slam 2-7x33 scope with the Burris PEPR mount. When the magnification is set at the 7x, the markings on the reticle are accurate for the drop bullet drop (crosshairs zeroed at 100 yds, the first dot below shoots 200yds).
I've only shot it at the range so far and I've been very pleased with it, easily shooting groups touching at 100 yds (it makes big holes!). 200 yds is great too. Haven't shot further out than that, but it looks like the bullet has a significant drop past 250yds. I have yet to take a kill shot .

Thanks Meatman!! I talked myself in to doing it since Cabelas has a sale on their 16" upper at $250 off of the regular $!
I do reload if you want to get rid of you're brass I would buy some beers or something??
Thanks!!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the 16"!

I'm am hoping to get into reloading soon, especially since there is more data on reloading the 450 BM. They say that Lil' Gun powder gives reloads similar ballistics to the proprietrary Hornady blend they use. So, for now, I'm hanging on to the brass, but I'll let you know if my wife says there is no way in hell that I can get into reloading...

Thanks again!! And no problem. It can get a little expensive! Especily for me I'm single and reload almost anything from .380 to 300 RUM.
