450 Bushmaster Hornady American Whitetail 245gr SP

This 450 Bushmaster cartridge by Hornady features the InterLock projectile. It’s a soft point bullet, with a jacket that’s expertly tapered to control expansion no matter the velocity at which it strikes its target. The jacket’s inner grooves weaken it to ensure consistent expansion as well, even at long range.

The InterLock has a secant ogive profile, so its ballistic coefficient is high enough to make some pretty impressively long distance shots. It’s able to penetrate deeply because its one-piece core won’t come apart during penetration, and it’s secured tightly to its jacket via both a cannelure and the raised ring from which the bullet takes its name. Accuracy, deep penetration, massive expansion, and great affordability -- these are the hallmarks of a great hunting bullet.

Hornady’s American Whitetail label gives deer hunters precisely the stuff they need to hunt deer. It’s not just this round’s bullet that’s so impressive -- it’s also its carefully standardized propellant load, its top tier brass casing, and its non-corrosive primer that won’t let you down in the heat of the moment!
