The HSM Bear Load .450 Bushmaster 300GR Jacketed Soft Point is purpose-built for hunters and outdoorsmen who demand maximum power and penetration from their ammunition. Designed to take on the toughest game in North America, this load is especially effective for bear, moose, and large wild boar.
The 300-grain jacketed soft point bullet features a durable copper jacket over a lead core, engineered for controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining high weight retention. This ensures the bullet penetrates deep into vital zones, delivering lethal energy to stop dangerous game quickly and effectively.
HSM loads each round using premium reloadable brass, non-corrosive Boxer primers, and carefully selected powders for consistent ignition, velocity, and accuracy. Whether used in a bolt-action or semi-auto rifle, the Bear Load series is built for dependability in high-pressure hunting situations.
