REDEFINING STRAIGHTWALL PERFORMANCE
THE ULTIMATE
STRAIGHT WALL
By reengineering the .450 Bushmaster into a fully integrated system, Gunwerks is opening new opportunities for hunters working within straight-wall restrictions. With improved ballistics, precision manufacturing, and smart integration of optics and ammo, we’re offering a new standard for what straight-wall hunting can look like.

ENGINEERED FOR LONG RANGE SHOOTING
The Gunwerks .450 Bushmaster system redefines what's possible with straight-wall cartridges.
We’ve paired our precision rifle platform with proprietary .450 Bushmaster ammunition engineered for long-range performance. By combining high-BC bullets and modern powders, our custom loads unlock exceptional capability from the Bushmaster case - extending its effective range beyond 400 yards.

SPEED vs. B.C.
Our custom .450 Bushmaster load fires a 327-grain bullet at approximately 2,000 fps - exceeding the performance of traditional 250-grain factory loads at hunting ranges.
At distance, the heavier, high-BC projectile delivers significantly reduced wind drift, superior retained velocity, and devastating terminal performance.
It’s designed to perform where standard Bushmaster rounds fall short.
STRAIGHT WALL RESTRICTIONS
Gunwerks entered new territory with the .450 Bushmaster, designed specifically for hunters restricted by straight-wall cartridge laws. With states like Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois demanding such compliance, we've crafted a high-performance solution that honors those legal requirements while maximizing range and accuracy.
Our goal? Double the conventional effective distance of these cartridges -targeting 500 yards and beyond!
