Product Overview
Best Uses for Underwood Xtreme Penetrator .450 Bushmaster 245gr Ammo
The Underwood Xtreme Penetrator .450 Bushmaster 245gr represents a radical departure from conventional hunting ammunition, designed for maximum penetration through the toughest barriers and thickest hide. With a searing 2260 fps muzzle velocity and 2779 ft-lbs of energy, this solid copper bullet features Lehigh Defense's patented fluted design that creates permanent wound channels without relying on expansion. This makes it the ultimate choice for dangerous game defense and hunting situations where penetration is paramount.
The Xtreme Penetrator excels in scenarios where conventional expanding bullets might fail. For black bear hunters in thick cover where a charging bear presents a worst-case scenario, this ammunition provides the straight-line penetration needed to reach vital organs from any angle. The fluted nose creates hydraulic displacement as it travels through tissue, causing tissue damage comparable to expanding bullets while maintaining a straight wound path. Hunters pursuing large feral hogs with thick shoulder shields will appreciate the bullet's ability to punch through these natural barriers.
This ammunition is also popular among hunters and outdoorsmen who carry .450 Bushmaster rifles in bear country as a defensive backup. The 0.145 G1 ballistic coefficient is lower than traditional hunting bullets due to the solid nose design, but at typical defensive distances under 100 yards, this is irrelevant. When you need ammunition that will stop a threat regardless of the angle or barrier, the Underwood Xtreme Penetrator delivers performance that conventional hunting loads simply cannot match.
