Where are you finding brass or ammo to feed a .450 Dakota?

I wish I did like it, but I just don’t.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Look at lots of examples online to see what you like. Personally, I cannot stand CCH, it looks sloppy to me. Plain bluing or silver is more appealing visually than CCH. A very light touch of subtle gold line on a few edges and gold lettering for the...

Please notify the manufacturer. That a serious manufacturing defect they need to analyze and correct. They likely will need those to analyze, so don’t dispose of them before talking with the company. Also, please share whatever the manufacturer has to say.

First, buy a few basic loading manuals and then read them a few times. Do not buy anything before reading and learning. The Sierra and Barnes manuals are my most used references for load data. This is the single best book written about handloading. Don’t worry about the chapter on neck...

Why do you want a tip off mount for the Aimpoint? There are excellent mounts with quick release. To me that is a potential weak risk of failure point on a heavy recoiling rifle. I do not like them even on a 5.56. Congratulations on the new rifle. How long is the estimated delivery time?
