Description

Product Overview

For the hunter demanding reliable, consistent performance on the most important shots, the Hornady American Whitetail 450 Bushmaster Ammo is a purpose-built solution. This 500-round case of 245-grain Ammunition is engineered specifically for the pursuit of North America’s most popular big game animal: the whitetail deer. The cartridge itself, the .450 Bushmaster, is a modern straight-wall cartridge designed to deliver formidable energy and ethical takedowns at typical woodland ranges. This bulk offering from Hornady provides serious hunters with a substantial supply of high-quality ammo, ensuring consistency across range sessions and throughout the season. Built around the proven InterLock jacketed soft point (JSP) bullet, it is tailored for hunters who require terminal performance they can trust when a trophy buck steps into view.

Key Features

• Legendary InterLock Bullet Design: The core feature is the 245-grain Hornady InterLock jacketed soft point. The bullet’s jacket and core are mechanically locked together through a cannulation, preventing separation and ensuring deep, controlled expansion and weight retention for consistent terminal performance.
• Optimized for Whitetail: This entire line is the result of Hornady’s direct focus on whitetail deer hunting. The bullet weight and propellant are selected to provide the ideal balance of trajectory, energy transfer, and recoil for this specific game.
• High-Capacity Value Pack: The 500-round case offers significant value per round for the dedicated hunter. It allows for ample practice to master the .450 Bushmaster’s trajectory and recoil impulse, followed by a full season (or more) of hunting ammunition, all from a single, consistent lot.
• Conventional Velocity & Alloy Construction: Loaded to conventional velocities that maximize the cartridge’s potential without over-stressing firearms, this ammunition provides reliable cycling and point-of-impact consistency. The alloy case material offers durability and reliable extraction.
• Soft Point Terminal Performance: The exposed lead tip of the soft point bullet initiates rapid, controlled expansion upon impact, creating a large wound channel for quick, humane harvests while the InterLock ring maintains integrity for deep penetration.

Performance & Applications

The primary and explicit application for this ammunition is hunting medium to large game, with whitetail deer being the ideal target. The .450 Bushmaster cartridge excels in regions with straight-wall cartridge restrictions, making this load a top-tier choice for hunters in states like Ohio, Michigan, and Iowa. The 245-grain InterLock JSP delivers devastating energy transfer at the moderate ranges typical in dense brush and hardwood forests, often resulting in decisive one-shot stops.

Beyond whitetail, the substantial mass and construction of this bullet make it a viable option for hunting larger game such as feral hogs or black bear at close to moderate ranges. The ammunition’s consistency also makes it suitable for sighting in and practicing with your hunting rifle, ensuring that your point of impact with your practice rounds is identical to your dedicated hunting rounds. This eliminates variables and builds confidence in your equipment.
