.450 bushmaster

The shooting community flocks to calibers for a bunch of different of reasons. It’s not uncommon that law enforcement drives the creation of a cartridge, which was the case for the .40 S&W.

Sometimes private gun owners want something new, which was the motivation for products like the .17 HMR. In other cases, laws drive the creation, or commercial success, of a cartridge, which was the case for the .450 Bushmaster.

The .450 Bushmaster is a straight-walled cartridge that is effective for hunting numerous game animals, including deer, elk, hog, and even some bears. But most importantly, the caliber is legal in states that do not permit traditional bottleneck cartridges.

The .450 Bushmaster is part of the legacy of Jeff Cooper, a World War II and Korean War veteran with the Marine Corp who became a ballistics expert and firearms instructor. He founded the American Pistol Institute and created numerous principles of carrying, handling, and shooting a handgun. Among Cooper’s numerous contributions was the idea of a “thumper” round. Shooters use thumper rounds in semi-automatic rifles to deliver more power (although not necessarily speed) for large game animals.
