Suggestions for 450 bushmaster ammo

[Nomad79]

I have recently upgraded from a 350 legend to a 450 bushmaster. I purchased a Ruger American gen 2 with a VX-Freedom® 3-9x40. I am looking for suggestions for ammo to use for hunting season.

In the past I used the Hornady FTX 250gr.
Accurate, and it worked, but not always as well as I wanted.

I've since purchased the Barnes Vor-tx ammo, but have yet to take a deer with it.
Based on past experience with Barnes I would try it first.

The 250 ftx/black ammo seems to shoot very well in most rifles....if you are only doing factory ammo I would try a box of it and the barnes, I've heard good things about that particular Barnes bullet/cartridge

If you reload, look into the 225ftx bullets, they are just as good as the 250 and 1/2 the price

I was debating on trying these. There is a few people who i know have had good luck with them.

My Ruger Ranch in .450BM shot the Hornady Black ammo very well. Since I got my .350legend haven't even pulled the .450bm out of the safe.
