The Ruger American in .450 Bushmaster is the heavy-hitting straight-wall cartridge option for hunters who need maximum terminal performance in states restricting bottleneck cartridges. The .450 Bushmaster drives 250-grain bullets at 2200 fps, generating 2686 ft-lbs of muzzle energy — enough for any North American big game at woods ranges. The stout recoil is managed by the American's rubber recoil pad. Three-round capacity reflects the cartridge's large diameter.
