da new guy
We are putting some emphasis on the shooter but part of that discussion was also coupled with the use of the FTX, Not just shooters in general. The FTX works ok in the 450 but like you mentioned earlier you did not seem to like it either. No argument there. If the shooter was careful to put it right in the lungs it will work, hit a shoulder or heavy bone (Thats where it worries me)?? There are a lot that don't take the time to aim small. A Better bullet like the Barnes in the 450 would be better for them.
Have you tried the Barnes Triple Shock 275 in your 450BM?

My only hang up is that tiny HP on it. I just have a hang up on tiny HPs for Big Game, not saying they don't or can't work but a few I did use (Not Barnes) well I just found something better. If it was more open I would not worry about it plugging up and not opening right. So it is just a personal preference for me. I don't really care for Tipped bullets in my MLs for hunting either. Again just personal preference.
