Does anyone know if Bushmaster has plans to just sell uppers in .450 Bushmaster? Has anyone seen a complete rifle yet, had a chance to fire one? I'm going to keep an eye out at the gun show this weekend, but I'm just curious if anyone has any info.

Supposed to be available right now:  www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=28&t=156769

Edit:  I just called BM - as of today 4-6 weeks wait for uppers as their backorders are being filled.

Ah, thanks. I should have looked in their industry forum.

Something else I just learned talking to Hornady - they just sent reloading dies for the 450 to heat treatment so they ought to be available soon.  

The brass and factory load bullets will be tied up at least for a while for loaded ammo.

Also, they said the XTP Magnum bullets should be good for reloading.... I found two .452" XTP Mag bullets on Midway, a 240 and a 300 grain hollow point.  Don't know if cartridge overall length and/or feeding would be good or not.
