I've got my "Thumper" now.............but I am not finding much reloading data.

Does anyone have any pet loads or a link to reloading the 450?

Right Here is some data for the 250 FTX from hornady. Shoot me an IM and I can email you a couple the load department from Hornady emailed me. They are all the FTX though, not sure if that helps you at all.

Will .451 caliber bullets work?

That was asked recently on 450bushmaster.net, the general consensus is yes, though it there isn't enough pressure to form the bullet to the lands it may not be quite as accurate as some of the .452 bullets.
