Hornady BLACK 450 Bushmaster 250 grain FTX ammunition delivers optimized performance for shooters running modern sporting rifles and specialized .450 Bushmaster platforms. This 20-round box loads 250-grain FlexTip eXpanding bullets at 2,200 feet per second, engineering a ballistic profile designed for consistent chamber feeding across semi-automatic and single-shot rifle systems.
The 250-grain FTX projectile combines Hornady's proven copper-jacketed construction with a red polymer tip cavity that initiates reliable expansion at duty and hunting velocities. At 2,200 feet per second, this load sits in the upper-mid range for .450 Bushmaster factory ammunition, balancing recoil management with terminal performance. The round is loaded to SAAMI specifications for safe function in any rifle chambered for the cartridge, with quality control standards consistent with Hornady's reputation among law enforcement and military operators.
This ammunition suits hunters and tactical shooters who rely on the .450 Bushmaster for medium-range precision and stopping power. The 250-grain weight class delivers deep penetration and energy retention downrange, making it effective for whitetail, feral hog, and intermediate-distance precision work. The box of 20 rounds provides a manageable quantity for range testing, function verification in new rifle builds, or supplemental duty carry for those who train regularly with the platform.
The .450 Bushmaster cartridge occupies a niche between mainstream rifle calibers and handgun rounds—it requires a dedicated upper receiver or rifle build, which means ammunition selection directly impacts rifle reliability and accuracy potential. Hornady BLACK line ammunition is engineered to minimize feeding variability and maximize velocity stability, critical factors for operators who depend on consistent performance across mission parameters.
