Nicknamed “The Thumper,” the 450 Bushmaster is the most radical cartridge ever chambered in production AR-15 type firearms. Hornady brings big bore performance to the most popular semi-automatic rifle in America — opening a whole new world of hunting to the battle-proven platform.
Hornady engineers worked closely with the Bushmaster design team building the cartridge to wring every last ounce of performance from the AR-15 without sacrificing any strength or reliability.
Well suited to hunt any North American game, the 450 Bushmaster will quickly become a favorite of bear country guides. By simply switching uppers, shooters can go from the prairie dog towns of South Dakota to bear country in the north woods!
Put it all together, and you have a cartridge that gives your AR series rifle a serious attitude adjustment!
Shot two deer with this round and one was a bit too far back. Both were terminated in their tracks. Range was around 50 yards so I can't comment on any long distance shots but the one I killed a couple days ago was nearly gutted by this hammer of a bullet. When I gutted the deer, the lungs were a bloody goo. This is a great cartridge!
