We test the .450 Bushmaster AR-15 with three hunting loads — 250gr Hornady FTX, 245gr Hornady Soft Point, and 260gr Remington Core-Lokt — fired into ballistic gel at 100 yards. Then we push the 250gr FTX further with a gel test at 200 yards.
This video covers penetration, expansion, energy transfer, and velocity loss — giving you the real data hunters need when choosing .450 Bushmaster ammo for deer, hogs, and other big game.
Equipment & loads used:
Grendel Hunter .450 Bushmaster upper with 16″ barrel
Hornady | 250gr FTX

For the combination of speed, accuracy and performance the 250 grain FTX load is the way to go in the 450 Bushmaster.
Great test on the Bushmaster.
I have to say I was really disappointed in the H Whitetail Ammo , I have been shooting it in a different Caliber for a few years now with great success.
Make me wonder!
I appreciate your hard work on the videos.
Cool test. I live in Texas, I don't need a straight wall, but im probably going to put a 375 raptor together. In an ar15 platform, the 41 great lakes would be a cool cartridge to see in gel.
