The .450 Bushmaster was designed around one core idea: deliver big-bore stopping power in a platform built for modern hunting. This 300-grain load from DoubleTap fills that mission. With deep-penetrating jacketed soft point construction, you get reliable expansion and the kind of energy transfer that makes this cartridge so effective on medium to large game at moderate ranges.
What sets heavier bullet loads apart is energy retention downrange. While lighter .450 loads might start faster out of the muzzle, a 300-grain projectile maintains more of its energy at distance. That matters when you're hunting in terrain where shots stretch beyond 150 yards, which is why the .450 is gaining ground with folks who want versatility without legal complications. The straight-wall case design makes this cartridge legal for hunting in states with specific cartridge restrictions, opening doors that traditional rifle rounds can't.
DoubleTap built this load with hunting application in mind. The jacketed soft point design balances expansion control with penetration, giving you consistent performance across different shot angles and ranges. The 20-round box format keeps things practical for field use, whether you're working an AR build or running a bolt action rifle.
The .450 Bushmaster works in both AR and bolt action rifles, though it behaves slightly differently in each. AR shooters appreciate the ergonomics and capacity options, while bolt action hunters often prefer the accuracy and added velocity potential. Either way, you'll want to verify your specific rifle's compatibility before loading up, since some AR configurations prefer dedicated .450 magazines for reliability.
The .450 as a cartridge lives in the 200 to 250-yard hunting sweet spot. It's not built to reach out past 300 yards, and it performs best when you understand that limitation. But within its design range, the energy it delivers is substantial, making it excellent for deer, hogs, and similar game.
This ammunition is designed for rifles chambered in .450 Bushmaster, including AR-platform rifles and bolt-action rifles from manufacturers like Ruger, Savage, Mossberg, and others. Make sure your specific rifle is properly chambered for .450 Bushmaster before loading, as the cartridge isn't compatible with other rifle types.
Heavier bullets typically carry more energy downrange, which means better performance at extended distances within the .450's effective range. A 300-grain load retains significantly more energy at 200-300 yards compared to lighter alternatives, making it a solid choice for hunting scenarios where range might stretch beyond typical deer-hunting distances.
The .450 Bushmaster's straight-wall design makes it legal for hunting in many states that restrict bottleneck cartridges during certain seasons. However, hunting regulations vary by state and sometimes by specific region. Check your local hunting regulations before purchasing ammunition for hunting purposes.
DoubleTap's 300-grain jacketed soft point is effective on medium to large game like deer, hogs, and black bear. The .450 Bushmaster performs best at ranges up to around 250 yards, and this heavier load's energy retention makes it particularly good for shots beyond 150 yards where lighter loads might fall short.
