I just bought a 450 Bushmaster AR15 upper that shoots the 250 gr .452 FTX (#45201) and am thinking about getting into reloading. I emailed Hornady and asked how it compares to the SST-ML (#45202) bullet - they said it was the same bullet..

SW = Shockwave
Really, Hornaday said they were the same? Well unless whoever answered the phone doesn't know their own product than I am wrong. My understanding was that it was a slightly harder construction to handle the Bushmaster velocities.

I would think that the 450B velocities should require a bonded/harder construction.

If you look for just the bullet for the 450B (#45201)- Hornady calls it the FTX (which is also the Leverevolution it appears)
BUT if look at loaded ammo they refer to it as a fTX but the writeup calls it the SST-ML bullet From their website "The 450 Bushmaster fires Hornady’s 0.452” 250 gr. SST-ML featuring Hornady’s Flex Tip™ technology."
here is the Hornady 450B ammo link

Places like ables and midway sell the same bullet (45201 FTX and 45202 SST) under both numbers and at different prices..
have a great day
