.450 Bushmaster Trajectory Calculator

The .450 Bushmaster is a straight-wall cartridge designed for states that restrict bottleneck rifle cartridges for deer hunting. With a 260-grain bullet at 2,200 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 9.7 inches of drop at 200 yards and 36.9 inches at 300 yards. Energy drops below 1,165 ft-lbs at 200 yards and 770 ft-lbs at 300 yards—plenty of stopping power inside 200 yards, but the steep trajectory makes it a short-range cartridge.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Most hunters zero at 150 yards to extend usable range. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
