Product Overview
Best Uses for Hornady Custom .450 Bushmaster 250gr FTX Ammo
The Hornady Custom .450 Bushmaster 250gr FTX delivers premium hunting performance for shooters who demand the finest ammunition for their straight-walled cartridge rifles. Generating 2200 fps and 2686 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load is engineered for whitetail deer hunters in states like Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa where straight-walled cartridges are required or preferred. The Custom line represents Hornady's commitment to match-grade consistency with hunting-optimized terminal performance.
This ammunition shines in single-shot and bolt-action rifles where hunters want maximum accuracy from each shot. The FTX bullet's controlled expansion creates reliable wound channels on deer and medium-sized game while the 0.21 G1 ballistic coefficient maintains trajectory predictability out to 200 yards. For hunters who take their time setting up the perfect shot from a tree stand or ground blind, the Hornady Custom provides the precision and terminal performance to make that shot count.
The Custom line also performs excellently for feral hog control and black bear hunting where stopping power matters. Whether you are protecting agricultural land from destructive hog populations or pursuing bear in dense timber, the combination of massive energy transfer and dependable expansion ensures ethical harvests. This is the ammunition choice for hunters who view their rifle as a precision instrument and expect their ammunition to match that standard.
