- 450 Bushmaster Hornady Custom 250 grain FTX ammo ballistics gel test fired from a Ruger American Ranch with 16 inch barrel.
Range gear: masonoutdoors.com
Leather gear: www.masonleather.com
All shots are fired from a distance of 100 yards to encompass the majority of common real world hunting scenarios.
I will be shooting into 10% ballistics gel from www.clearballistics.com that has been calibrated to meet the FBI ballistics testing protocol.
While ballistics gel isn’t an exact proxy for big game, small game, predators or defensive situations, it does provide a repeatable medium through which to test various bullets and ammunitions against each other.
With each type of ammo tested I collect data on bullet penetration depth, bullet weight retention, bullet expansion and muzzle velocity.
For reference, bullet expansion is measured at the widest expanded point using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Caliper.
Bullet weight is measured using a calibrated Frankford Arsenal Digital Scale after having removed as much ballistics gel as possible from the expanded bullets.
Bullet velocity is measured using a ProChronoPal chronograph set approximately 7’ from the shooting bench.
I am fully aware that a chronograph measuring bullet velocity from 7’ away from the muzzle is going to register a slower velocity than if velocity were measured directly at the muzzle, but that difference is going to be so small as to be all but irrelevant in regards to comparison of actual measured velocity versus factory stated velocity.
My goal with these ballistics gel tests is to provide hunters like you and I with the most objective information possible to help us make the best choice for our particular hunting situation.
The results of these tests are my own and I cannot guarantee the same or similar performance on your part. The views and opinions expressed in this video are solely my own.
All videos are filmed in a safe and controlled environment on a private range with all applicable safety precautions by a trained professional. - Zábava

Visiting the websites above directly supports the channel and helps me bring you more awesome videos!
Welcome back...that set up is the ideal truck rifle. Short, light, handy and hits hard. I have one myself.🙂
Very impressive. Can’t wait for the 44mag videos.
Welcome back! Excited for more of these videos!
Good to see another new test.
Good to see ya again!!
Nice! I put 2 of this same round through a small Grizzly up here in Alaska last fall. Both passed clean through. Thanks for the video
Glad to be of service!
Welcome back Mason! Been missing the content
Glad your back good video
Glad to see you back. We been missing you! That 450 has got some PUNCH! Thanks for the video.
Glad to be of service!
Just today, I was just watching your past videos. Looking for a new deer slayer And what do you know, a new upload! Awesome content! Thanks brother.
Glad to be of service!
I was somehow unsubscribed from your channel. Very strange, was thinking it had been a while since my last notification, well wtf. Glad to be back.
Thanks this is cool. I bought some of that ammo. Also got some Barnes vortex all copper. That expands well and stays together.
Really very good. Thumper. Good stuff. Thank you.
Awesome video! I just picked up a box of this ammo today now I know what to expect
Glad to be of service!
You’re back!🤯 keen to see 204Ruger please
Totally not a caliber I would choose, but enjoyed seeing what it can do. Thanks.
Glad to be of service!
I put a bell&carlson stock on mine ; tames the recoil really nice .
Thanks man!
Glad to be of service!
Nice little thumper! Looking forward to more 270win test. Home about a 140gr Hornady spire point, really curious about that one, thanks
I agree. I bought a box of those. Also bought 2 boxes of federal fusion150's. Love to see him test those as well.
Cant wait to see some .270 Win. 150 grain tests. Ive got a theory I'm dying to see tested and confirmed or disproven in gel.
That 450 bushmaster is a beast! Would love to see some rifle tests of various .357 and .44 mag loads if you get the chance
Several 44 Mag are uploaded and in the pipeline, TONS of 357 coming.
@@masonoutdoors_masonleather You the man! Love your vids dude.
As an Australian, I work mostly in metric. I sometimes use imperial for length, but that is about it.
So when a I heard Yanks talk about a round being so many "grain", I thought they were talking about how manny prices of propelent were in it.
Nice job. Has anyone tried the 450 BM on an elk ?
I'd love to see some 12 gauge slug test... foster and sabots
I’ve got a couple rifled slug vids coming soon, uploaded and in Que
What is the difference in hornady custom and hornady black?? If there is one?
What about a 22" barrel?
Will you do a video using the FTX 165gr in 350 Legend?
I’m doing everything
Thank you, miss spoke Bush masters.Only point 452 not 458
Hornady Black should be similar.
Same bullet
Where you been?
Working
@@masonoutdoors_masonleather was hoping I’d see some 708 or 308 in gel.
I'm sure they are coming soon
I've never understood this round. 350 legend hammers everything I hunt with a 1/4 of the recoil.
It's probably a little better than the .350 Legend for the bigger than deer size game.
450 was designed for elk hunting within 175 yards. 350 was designed for deer and hogs I believe.
Well actually I think 450 BM was designed to destroy engine blocks in the military and designed with the ar15 platform in mind.
No it was designed for a AR platform for throwing big lead fast...@@Yoopermanbeau
@@joshuaclark3414 that’s 50 Beowulf
a 44 mag is not that much less from a carbine
A lot of that loss of mass has to be that massive red tip.
I see your hibernation is over
I just dont see the use case for this round. Maybe bear in those few weird states like ohio that require straightwall. Other than that....?
I think it would be a good cartridge for those hunting in wooded areas where 75 yards is a long shot. It would handle anything on 4 legs out to 150 yards. I could see it replacing an old 30-30 or someone wanting to use their AR for bear or elk, while reserving their 5.56 upper for deer or varmints. I mean the 350 legend is just this but weaker and everyone loves that thing for whatever reason. I personally wouldn't mind owning a 400 legend for where/what I hunt.
@Magnum_Express you're not wrong but the same can be done with something much more affordable/common like a 308.
@@Matt-dc8lp i agree. I see the 450 as a mostly AR platform caliber. The reason to own one in bolt would be to compliment your ar15, as a cheap truck/ranch gun for hogs or a camp gun in bear country.
There are a lot of straight wall only states
@@BadKarma.- I would not call 4 a lot
Don't shoot a whitetails in the shoulder with these. Ribs only. Makes a terrible mess
