Weatherby 1st. LEUPOLD makes two models one has elevation the other has windage and elevation around $210 and $250 on gunbroker. They also work great on 45cal muzzle loaders almost identical ballistics with 450 bushmaster using 275 grain aerotips with 3 777pellets.
Tried shooting the 240 grain bear creek last year out of the wife 450 ruger and couldn't really dial it in with them kinda disappointed tried them out of my 450 savage few months back and shot really well with them at 100 yards, haven't tried them at 150 / 200 yards yet but will after gun season hoping they shoot well at that range.

Hornady already loads a .458" 250 grain MonoFlex copper alloy bullet for the .45-70 LeveRevolution Ammo. They offer a .452" 250 grain MonoFlex copper alloy bullet and sabot as a .50 caliber muzzleloader offering, but that same bullet could easily be loaded into .450 Bushmaster Ammo.

450 Bushmaster zero advice. Ive got an AR 450 (16" barrel) with a Vortex Strike Eagle BDC scope. I shoot Hornady ammo. I hunt farms fields so my longest shot would be 200yds; the usual shot is 100yds or less. So, where should I set my zero? Im thinking set it at 50yds and use the reticle markings for the longer shots.
Unless your recoil sensitive or it's an accuracy issue, there is no reason to go less than 225 grains in a .452 bullet. I will say that the comparison is a bit sided on the 240 bullet. The 170 bullet at 2550 is on the slow side and the fast side for the 240. For equal ballistics, upper end velocities should be used for each bullet.
The 450 Bushmaster is a cartridge that is gaining popularity, especially in the states that have allowed deer hunting with straight walled cases. It is used in both bolt action rifles and semi-auto AR type rifles.
