The Hornady American Whitetail Rifle Ammo in 450 Bushmaster, 245 gr InterLock, delivers the kind of downrange performance hunters ask for when chasing big whitetail and brush-country game, and the American Whitetail series is built around proven terminal performance and reliable feeding for lever and single-shot platforms; the InterLock bullet design locks the core to the jacket for controlled expansion and deep penetration, producing the 2633 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and a muzzle velocity around 2200 fps that hunters need for ethical placement on heavy-bodied deer at practical ranges. This brass-cased, U.S.-origin cartridge carries ORM-D handling classification for shipping and storage considerations and sits in the sweet spot of the 450 Bushmaster family for short-barrel rifles where hard-hitting stopping power matters without excessive recoil for follow-up shots. Whether youre running dense timber, hunting from stands, or outfitting a defensive brush rifle, these rounds feed reliably, deliver consistent trajectories, and offer the weight and construction that make shot placement count; Hornadys American Whitetail name signals a series focused on game-stopping performance for North American big-game hunting.
