My step brother in Michigan has two. He loves them.

It's very similar to my savage 220 using 3inch federal slugs. I can also hunt shotgun only areas with a bolt action scoped rifle that groups inside a grapefruit at 150 yards.

Accutip 20ga vs 450 Bushmaster?
Both are 260gr I assume the 450 BM is .450" does anyone know off the top of their head diameter of the 20ga accutip? I was thinking about a Ruger American in 450 BM but already own a Savage 220.

I have a Savage 110 Scout Rifle with the Burris 2.75x scope. Love the setup for an area I hunt that was timbered 15 years ago. Shots are generally less than 75 yards. I shoot the Winchester Deer Season 250 grain cartridges. It WILL damage a lot of meat, but blood trails have been massive with very short tracking distances.

Don't own but have shot several hogs with one. Never had to track, it was like a ax hit them. Just never bought one due to magazine capacity limitations.
Friend of mine and his father in law are in Ohio hunting now. FIL shot a doe with a 450 Bushmaster and he said it knocked a hole in her. Also didn't get the barrel completely out of the box blind and his ears are still ringing from the muzzle brake

I got a mossberg after selling my ML because I got tired of trying to find blackhorn and Iowa made some straight wall cartridges legal for deer hunting during shotgun seasons. I shoot the Hornady 250grn and it's pretty accurate. Only killed one deer with it, but it did everything my 45 Encore did.
