Product Overview
Best Uses for HSM Bear Load .450 Bushmaster 300gr JSP Ammo
The HSM Bear Load .450 Bushmaster 300gr JSP is purpose-built for hunters pursuing large, dangerous game where deep penetration and reliable expansion are equally critical. The heavy 300-grain jacketed soft point at 1900 fps delivers 2405 ft-lbs of bone-crushing energy, designed specifically to stop black bear and other large game in their tracks. HSM's Bear Load line has earned a devoted following among hunters who venture into country where they might encounter aggressive wildlife.
The jacketed soft point construction provides controlled expansion that creates substantial wound channels while retaining enough weight to penetrate through heavy bone and muscle. This balance makes the ammunition effective on broadside shots at black bear as well as the difficult quartering angles that often present themselves when hunting in thick cover. The 0.225 G1 ballistic coefficient and 300-grain mass ensure the bullet maintains its trajectory and energy better than lighter projectiles at typical hunting distances under 200 yards.
Beyond dedicated bear hunting, this load excels for feral hog eradication where large boars with thick shoulder shields require serious penetration. Hunters in straight-walled cartridge states who want a single ammunition solution for deer, hogs, and bear will find the HSM Bear Load provides the versatility to handle any game animal they might encounter. For hunters who believe in carrying enough gun and enough bullet for the job, this heavy-hitting load delivers the confidence that comes from knowing your ammunition can handle whatever walks out of the timber.
