Overview of Hornady 450 Bushmaster Ammo

Hornady is the name most closely tied to 450 Bushmaster. The company's loads defined the cartridge for a generation of deer hunters, and its 250-grain FTX bullet - the flat-shooting, polymer-tipped projectile used in the BLACK and Custom lines - remains the reference load for the caliber. For hunters in straight-wall-cartridge states, Hornady 450 Bushmaster is often the first ammunition they buy for an AR-15 or bolt-action chambered in the round.

The appeal is simple: big-bore knockdown power in a platform most shooters already own. The 250-grain FTX delivers controlled expansion and heavy energy transfer inside 250 yards, making it a proven whitetail and hog load where straight-wall cartridges are required or preferred. Hornady's dominance in the space means its loads set the ballistic baseline that other 450 Bushmaster ammo is compared against.

Why shooters choose Hornady 450 Bushmaster

Category standard: Hornady's 250-grain FTX is the reference load for the cartridge.
Straight-wall legal: a top choice for deer seasons that restrict hunters to straight-wall cartridges.
Big-bore energy: heavy bullet weight for whitetail and hog inside 250 yards.
AR-15 compatible: full big-bore performance from a familiar platform.

Bullet Points: Hornady Ammo

Joyce Hornady was a dedicated shooter, and created his company in 1949 out of his desire to create high-quality ammunition that he could use himself. This passion led Hornady ammo to grow rapidly, with sales increasing 300% by its second year.
After a shortage brought on by the Korean War, Hornady manufactured products unrelated to ammunition, like jewelry and condenser cans. This led to his later creation of ultra-thin copper jackets for varmint bullets.
The Hornady plant in Nebraska features an underground range, which allowed Joyce to perform onsite testing – another sign of dedication that led to innovative bullet designs like the LEVERevolution.
