Not a cheap option, but I just got some Parker 275gr match hunters last week, gonna try them in my #1 and 45 Raptor, but gonna be a couple weeks before I can get out.

Here is one seated at 2.813 to the lands in my Raptor against my go to 200gr Barnes

I have seen a few mentions of using Barnes TMZ .452 bullets with good performance. All have been solid copper.

Why not? ML's are throwing them at velocities similar to the 450. I have a bag of Hornady 250 SST's I think they were called, from my ML days, that I am going to try on deer. They came pre-packed with the red sabots.

For years been using Cutting Edge Bullets 160 gr. Flat Base Raptor. I was the person that took it from a muzzleloader bullet to the 450 Bushmaster. Quit counting how many deer been shot with them. I never shot any other bullet while hunting in the 450 Bushmaster. Put one behind the shoulder and all that's left is getting it out of the woods.
Have shot a few with the CEB 250 gr only to sight in and shoot a bear. biggest to date 460 lbs dressed.

Everybody complains about the price of CEB bullets. There expensive but work better than any other bullet made. I shoot the cheep bullets at paper.
