I do, or at least I have. I haven’t shot it much in the past few years, but it’s a hog slammer. I just like my 6.8s better for hog killing. The ammo is kind of expensive too. Mine is a Bushmaster and the ballistics paired well with a Nikon shotgun scope with the BDC reticle. Plenty accurate enough for hog killing up to a couple hundred yards.

I shoot a socom and I’ll say this unless you reload it’s way overpriced even hand loads are pricey compared to the 450.
I’d imagine the 450 inside 200 would devastate anything, also IMO it’s a better subsonic round since it uses pistol bullets however you also give up some penetration and what not due to the pistol bullets.

Yes, really like mine. Ammo is about $1 each, like so many others - so not all that bad.
Living where I do, I'm very familiar with shooting shotguns with slugs and muzzleloaders.
450 Bushmaster offers very similar ballistics to these.
And recoil was really not bad.
Very cool round, that makes nice big holes should you need to follow a blood trail.
