how far can you shoot a 450 bushmaster

The effective range of a .450 Bushmaster rifle is generally considered to be around 250 yards (229 meters).

Here’s why:

• Ballistics: The .450 Bushmaster is a straight-walled cartridge designed for effective hunting at shorter distances. At longer ranges, the bullet drops significantly, and the energy retention isn’t as strong.
• Accuracy: While the rifle can technically fire further, maintaining consistent accuracy and ethical shot placement on game beyond 250 yards becomes challenging. Wind drift also becomes a significant factor.
• Hunter Ethics: Most ethical hunters prioritize clean, humane kills. This often means limiting shots to distances where they are confident in their ability to make a precise shot.

However, some experienced shooters might be able to extend that range slightly, but it is rarely recommended.
