Anyone have ballistic Data with 450 bushmaster, 458 socom and 50 beowulf on it?

I just want to do some comparing with velocities, energy, etc. I like reading up on all of them and seeing their strengths and weaknesses. Any input would be appreciated. I'm also looking at getting one in the future for a 0-200 yard hog slayer which I'm sure all 3 would qualify but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks.

450 Bushmaster data can be found on Hornady's web site, both for factory loads and handloads. Of the three I think the 450 is going to be the flattest shooting and it really begins dropping after 200 yards. If I ever hunt with mine I will confine my shots to no more than 200 yards. Not an inch more than 200.

Well, no, the data is no longer on Hornady's site, I suppose because it is in the 8th (latest) Hornady Handbook. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

Here is the factory data (http://www.hornady.com/store/450-Bushmaster-250-gr-FTX-LEVERevolution/). You can duplicate this load with Lil Gun and 296.

Here's some on the .450 bushmaster.

I had mine out today. My buddy fired a three inch three shot group at 200 without even trying. It opened up to about five inches with ten shots. One reason I wanted the 450 is to shoot 230 grain round nose 45 pistol bullets which are cheap. There are no really cheap 458 bullets nor cheap bullets for the Beowulf (my guess, correct me if I am wrong).
