I feel the same way BUT they are quite accurate out of the box and sell like hot cakes around here especially in the 450 Bushmaster. I do like my stainless Ruger GSR that I picked up in trade a few months ago. I'm having it rebored by JES to 358 Win. Should be coming back any day now.
Number One... I have no experience with the cartridge, but in reading I came across this:
Those tables tell a story that's a little different, probably more realistic for factory ammo, but I'd have to consider that it's Remington.AJMD429 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 9:22 pm Not quite that flat, FWiedner, but not too bat for hog-hunting or bear-hunting range....

Know what? Don't be a dick
He's said he's starting with his "Ruger GSR" So I'm thinking his is the one in 308 Win they already came out with.
JerryB, it was originally in 308 Win. As far as I know all Ruger GSR came in that caliber only.
Here's the data from Hornady's .450 Bushmaster load. As you can see, it falls short of that claim. To get it to come anywhere near that, you would have to push it at 2900 fps!!!! I'm sure that might create some pressure issues. And even if you could, the midrange trajectory does not match the claim you found.FWiedner wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 8:04 pmNumber One...

"Ballistically the round is very flat out to 200 yards; if the firearm is zeroed at 150 yards, the user can expect to see a rise of 1.8 inches at 100 yards, zero at 150 yards and a drop of 2.4 inches at 200 yards."
Number Two... Is the above true or BS?
Up 2 Down 2 inside 200 yds is not usually what I visualize when I think about "rainbow" trajectories.

The original Scout Rifle concept was for 400 Man-Paces. Riflemen can have anything they want, but this current trend of calling everything a Scout rifle is irritating.vancelw wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2017 8:31 amHere's the data from Hornady's .450 Bushmaster load.FWiedner wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2017 8:04 pmNumber One...

When the opened the Gander Mountain in Tyler Texas in 2006 they had 2 nickel-plated, bead blasted Remington pump .308 rifles in stock.
I, myself, am always happy when a manufacturer comes out with a new product. That they think enough people will buy it and they can make a profit on it is great.
Yeah. I have an AR in 50 Beowulf, and would like to have a bolt action 'companion gun' in the same chambering for similar reasons.
Don't get me wrong, I like how it looks and would love have it and use it if I didn't have 45/70 or 45Colt. Some products are just named so goofy, makes you wonder who comes up with the name or their reasons for it.
