Nope, nothing yet, and that jacket separation seems to be a problem, but only "Seems", lemme resectfully explain. Even with this occasional separation, with the factory fodder, things just die and with deadly aplomb, I might add. In far lessor calibers, jacket separation will usually result in less than acceptable Terminal results and those failures, that we are so familiar with, affect our thinking about the 450b, but this thinking isn’t really applicable in some of our lexical Data. The 450b however, has some bullets that work better than others, but we have so much kinetic energy, that even with a jacket separation, the Terminal results are always in the positive. Don't get me wrong, you can choose Mission Specific bullets, for our Baby, that will blow you away, with their results.
Conclusion, if it's brown, it's down, and arguing with fantastic results is more than moot, or if you have a favorite bullet, “use’em, if ya got’em”. Pick a bullet for the mission at hand, make sure it will perform over your chosen velocity ranges and go for it, in the meantime, the factory 250gr bullet will work great for 95% of anything we normally do. ..t
