Default The Bushmaster .450 Rifle

I was looking over the new bushmaster The Bushmaster .450 Rifle. It says itis adapted from a 6.5mm – .284 case with necking cut off to accommodate the 250 Grain Hornady SST Flex Tip .450 caliber bulletmoves at 2200 feet. And has exceptional accurracy out to 20 yards

I am wonting a ar 15 and and new hunting rifle. All though i am in indiana i will be traveling around and plan to do some out of state hunting next year . The cost is 1300 but if i figure the cost of a 7.62 and a good hunting rifle , they would cost me more if i bought two rifles. Is the .450 to big for deer might do some elf hunting up west, and beer hunting

What are your thought on this rifle

if i am mistaken which happens. the 458 socom a pistol round and the 450 a high power rifle round. what i am wonting is two things i wont to get a ar15 in a high power rifle cal bigger then the 5.56 or .223 something like a 7.62. Second i wont a hunting rifle that is semi auto that i can use on Deer outside indiana bear and elf as i will be travling around and be able to due some out of state hunting. What i need to know is the bushmaster .450 rifle good for hunting all three or is the 458 socom a high power rifle round

450 Bushmaster250gr bullet at 2200fps is similar to a muzzleloader shooting a 50/452 sabot w/ Hornady SST or T/C Shockwave with a mag 150gr charge of powder. Itwon't have a problem killing deer, and certainly could kill black bear and elk at reasonable ranges.
