Questions?

I'm looking at a Bushmaster .450 upper.
For deer hunting.I have a Bushmaster patrolman.
Do you like the 450 or not?;Confused;

[canes7]

Make .450 size holes I'm told.

A guy at our club has one. I watched him shoot it from the 200 yard line. Accuracy was good and function was good.

I love big bore baby. I shot my .35 today to get ready for my Wyoming trip. Zero in at 200 yards, 2" high at 100, 10" low at 300. I am absolutely ready to go 300 yards with the thing but the .450 is more limited to 200 and even then you are over 13" low at 200 yards. At 100 yards though, stuff will not like it.

[LEAD POISON]

I have read it's a short ranger.I don't shoot more than 100 yards 150 at most.
Sounds good thanks all.

[LEAD POISON]

Here we go again.
I've been told to stay away from the 450, POOP.
Okay what ya think of the 6.8? in a 16" barrel?

LP - It's been too long since I've been deer hunting but IMHO you don't need too much more than the .223 for deer. Unless you are looking for an excuse to buy a new AR. If that's the case look into a M110 clone. .308 and on a platform you are already familiar with. I'm sure I don't need to tell you but the .308 will take down much more than deer. DPMS makes a nice one I hear.

.308 rocks deer

I agree,.308 is all You need (I use My standard M1 in 30-06 though) for most North American Game.

I see no reason to not go with the .450 though if your shots are within 200 yards. Those 100 yard and under shots are going to be FUN.

I've never driven a train thru a deer but I can imagine how fun it might be!

[timshufflin]

It won't be a train canes, look at the foot pounds man. It also looks like an easy round to reload.

[LEAD POISON]

Thanks guys.

Flash.Update. I bought the 450 Bushmaster.
Since (don't tell punchy) I already have a .308 DPMS 20 inch.

[timshufflin]

When are you shooting it? I'd love to hear all about it bro. How much is ammo?

[LEAD POISON]

Its not here yet, it's coming from Walsh gun & tackle in your Mich.$540.00 shipped.
Now i will look for ammo on line.About 1.70 a round,till I find someone who reloads this Boomer.

How close range zombie headshots?

[LEAD POISON]

All the bullits are going to be silver plated and soaked in garlic.
