    Bula Defense System .450 Bushmaster.

    I have had this rifle for 3 years now. It is the first XM21 in .450 Bushmaster built by Bula. I had seen the stock on one of their .308 display rifles at Camp Perry and suggested that if they could build me a .450 Busmaster by the next day, I would buy it if it could be put in this stock. Well, next day Wayne the owner of Bula Forge and their rifle builder Josh finished it up as I watched at their table on commercial row. Really proud of this one. Shoots moa with 250 gr Hornady FTXs.
    Finally got around to sanding the stock and putting a coating of BLO on it this morning. Loving quarantine. Sorry Hawk, no place for one of your kits on this Boyd's stock.

      Yes sir. I polish up the underside of the feed lips so it doesn't dig into the soft brass. Works like a charm with a 10 rnd or less loading.

            For me, nothing past 300 but the rifle's capability exceeds that. Very similar to the 45-70.
            Yes, 250 gr FTX Hornady's commercial ammo lists muzzle velocity of 2200 fps.
            Main purpose for me was just to extend my collection to another variation of the M14. I don't hunt anymore, but it's here just in case something large needs quick positive elimination.
