Materials

.450 Bushmaster FTX, black powder

Materials

.450 Bushmaster ammunition, loaded with a plastic-capped 250-grain Flex Tip bullet. Born from discontent with the .223 Remington's weak stopping potential, the .450 Bushmaster round was crafted in line with the so-called 'Thumper' concept: an envisioned need for a large-bore, semi-automatic sporting cartridge capable of downing game in one shot. Along with its elder sibling, the .50-caliber Beowulf cartridge, the .450 Bushmaster is one of a number of such high-caliber rounds and is compatible with appropriately converted AR-15-platform rifles. This particular cartridge possesses a plastic-tipped projectile, which acts as an improved hollow point bullet with uniform and devastating expansion within wound cavities.
