450 Bushmaster – 260 gr SP – Federal Fusion (F450BMFS1) – 200 Rounds

Federal Fusion was designed specifically for deer, and the 450 Bushmaster version is a favorite in straight-wall states. This listing is Federal Fusion 450 Bushmaster 260 grain bonded soft point ammo, MPN F450BMFS1, sold as a 200 round bulk case.

The Fusion bullet is made by electrochemically bonding a copper jacket to a pressure-formed lead core, so the jacket and core stay together for high weight retention and deep penetration. A skived tip promotes fast, consistent expansion. Federal rates this load at 2,200 fps with 2,794 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, delivering heavy, reliable energy on whitetail and hogs.

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 gives you one consistent lot for sighting in and several seasons of hunting.

Federal Fusion F450BMFS1 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 Fusion Bonded Soft Point.
