When you need 450 Bushmaster ammo that delivers consistent terminal performance on whitetail, hogs, or black bear at 200+ yards, the Remington Premier AccuTip 260-grain load bridges the gap between traditional soft-points and match-grade hunting projectiles. Built around the AccuTip bonded bullet—a polymer-tipped design featuring spiral nose cuts and a cartridge-brass jacket—this round generates 2180 feet per second at the muzzle and 2743 foot-pounds of energy, enough to anchor game cleanly inside ethical hunting distances. The 450 Bushmaster cartridge was purpose-built for straight-wall rifle zones, and this Premier offering maximizes its ballistic potential without the recoil penalty of magnum calibers.
Built for the Box
Each case starts as boxer-primed brass—non-corrosive, reloadable, and headstamped for lot traceability. Remington applies tight powder-charge tolerances to ensure round-to-round velocity spreads remain within single-digit extreme spread values, critical for maintaining zero across hunting season temperature swings. The AccuTip projectile itself uses a bonded core-to-jacket interface: the lead core is metallurgically fused to the brass jacket during manufacture, preventing core-jacket separation on impact with heavy bone or angled shots. The Power Port tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1600 fps, while the spiral cuts on the ogive control petal deployment to produce a textbook mushroom through 12–18 inches of ballistic gelatin. Intended use is hunting; lead content requires California Prop 65 disclosure. Country of origin is United States of America.
