Well here is a pic with the Parker bullets I received today. I had to shorten the case with the Hunter/Match but I still think it would be fun to play with.

At some point, you have to ask yourself how much would this particular caliber, with it's range capabilities, benefit from Scenar type bullets like the Hunter/Match ones and to a lesser extent, the Ballistic Supreme. In those weights, the 450b only has so much velocity to bring to the ballistic table. To be honest, I'm at a loss to think of any .452 caliber cartridge out there that can benefit substantially from such advanced bullets as those Hunter/Match ones. I suppose in a match, where you load single shots by hand, all of them could be put to use. They sure will make interesting bullet board examples though and I salute Parker for coming up with the process to make them.
