So I’ve been playing a lot with .460 S&W mag recently, and yesterday was looking at my reloading components and my dead air primal and thinking I really need to build a .450 BM upper for suppressed use
The sanity check comes in here: Would there be any reason a rifle length gas system on a 16” barrel would not work in this application?
plan is to use suppressed exclusively (if it becomes a bolt gun unsuppressed idgaf)
Parts for full picture:
Loads will be a combination of 395gr Sub-X subsonic loads and supersonic 250gr FTX
Did some reading in other places, but haven’t run across a good answer for this particular question.

Parts for full picture:
- X-caliber custom barrel, wide gas port, 16”, rifle gas
- Superlative Arms bleed-off adjustable gas block
- JMac 45cal Keymount muzzle device (adding to the backpressure)
- Keymount mounted Dead Air Primal (high backpressure .458cal)
