PNWguy Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Surfing the web trying to find various jacketed bullets to try out in my new .450 Bushmaster and stumbled across these. $110 for a box of 50. Bullets only. Not even the complete cartridge. Must have to be a super secret ninja operator to use these... https://cuttingedgebullets.com/452-250gr-flat-base-raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) The best you're going to do with the 450 Bushmaster is the Hornady 250 grain FTX bullets at $29.99 a box of 50/ $/.60 cents a bullet. .https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018229522/hornady-ftx-bullets-flex-tip-expanding-box-of-100 That's why I like the 468 SOCOM better than the 450 Bushmaster. Any bullet you can use in the 45/70 you can use in the 458 SOCOM and because of the bottleneck design, blunt bullets feed better. Speer Hot-Cor Bullets 45 Caliber (458 Diameter) 350 Grain Flat Nose Box of 50 $24,99 ($0.50 cents a bullet, These bullets have been used for hunting North American game for many years and work very well at 45/70/458 SOCOM velocities. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/579265/speer-hot-cor-bullets-45-caliber-458-diameter-350-grain-flat-nose-box-of-50 You could even use 300 grain coated cast bullets from the Missouri bullet company for $42.50 for 200 bullets ($10.62 for 50 bullets) http://missouribullet.com/details.php?prodId=228&category=6&secondary=36 Edited September 24, 2018 by Borg warner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNWguy Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 I bought a box of 100 225gr Hornady FTXs for $32 from Brownells. https://www.brownells.com/reloading/bullets/pistol-bullets/ftx-bullets-prod38542.aspx?avs|Diameter+(in)_1=0xzzx452 I cast my own bullets, and I have a couple of molds that will work; just need to use gas checks. And i also think the 250gr XTP will work just fine for target shooting and thin skinned predators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
