450 Bushmaster – 260 gr PSP – Remington Core-Lokt (R450B1 / 27941) – 200 Rounds

Remington Core-Lokt is one of the best known deer bullets in America, and this load brings it to the 450 Bushmaster. This listing is Remington Core-Lokt 450 Bushmaster 260 grain pointed soft point ammo, MPN R450B1 (Remington item 27941), sold as a 200 round bulk case for deer and hog hunters.

Core-Lokt bullets use a jacket that is progressively tapered and mechanically locked to the lead core, which controls expansion and helps the bullet hold together for deep penetration. The pointed soft point profile expands reliably at 450 Bushmaster velocities. Remington lists this load at 2,040 fps with 2,402 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, plenty for whitetail and wild hogs at typical straight-wall distances.

The 450 Bushmaster was designed for the AR-15 platform and fits a standard AR-15 lower with a 450 Bushmaster upper, bolt, and magazines. It is also chambered in bolt action rifles such as the Ruger American Ranch, which makes it a popular choice for hunters who want one big bore round for both platforms. A common question is whether 450 Bushmaster is legal in straight-wall cartridge states such as Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. It is a straight-wall case and qualifies in many of those areas, but regulations change and differ by state, so always confirm your local rules before the season. Compared with the 350 Legend, the 450 Bushmaster fires a much heavier .452 inch bullet, which gives it more energy and a wider wound channel at the cost of more recoil, so it suits hunters who value stopping power inside about 200 yards. A 200 round case means one lot of ammunition for zeroing, practice, and several seasons in the stand.

Remington Core-Lokt R450B1 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each cartridge uses a brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive, and the boxer primed brass is reloadable for handloaders. Buying by the case also keeps you on one production lot, so point of impact and velocity stay consistent from box to box. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 450 Bushmaster 260 grain Pointed Soft Point Core-Lokt.
