    Comprehensive list of factory .450bm ammo

    I think we all know about hornaday load and the Remington with the green tip, is there anything else available?

    Underwood makes 2 solid copper loads

    Then I found black butterfly? They have a 160 grain load they advertise at almost 2,800 fps. Anyone know anything about them? http://www.blackbutterflyammo.com/pr...50-bushmaster/

    Buffalo bore also makes a load https://www.buffalobore.com/index.ph...uct_list&c=229

    I dunno, that Black Butterfly Screamer (the 160 grain bullet) looks pretty gimmicky. I wouldn't use it for hunting. But I'll be subscribing to the thread, I joined the .450 Bushy club last fall.

    s://cuttingedgebullets.com here's where you can see the bullet in question. The 160gr 452 Raptor rifle bullet. Not a gimmick, just stupid expensive

    This thread doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

    Does anyone know of any other factory .450BM loads that really make the rifle shine? I know, I know...reload. It isn't an option for me in the foreseeable future. So I'm limited to factor loadings.

    Hornady, Remington, Black Butterfly, Underwood, and Buffalo Bore. Is that really it?

    Have they fixed the remington ammo yet? I found some 2 years ago and after looking the rounds over didnt buy any. There were big variations in crimp and overall length. Some round has loose bullets and some had the bullet seated way too deep in the case. I've seen multiple boxes like this.

    I think the 300 grain Buffalo Bore load is a 300 grain xtp bullet.

    Black butterfly makes several different loads including the high speed load listed above, a non lead smash, all copper tomahawk 250 grain load and Barnes 275 xpb bullet load. I'd give a serious look at that Barnes xpb load if you want something other than the factory Hornady custom.

    I've been looking at the Barnes load. I'm having a lever action built. Not sure if a bolt action only would matter.
