Shaun, no Sir it is not. 450 Bushmaster shooting a 250- or 260-grain bullet at about 2,200 fps and will drop a deer with no problem, provided the hunter puts the bullet where it should go. No issues with the proper bullet with bringing home the venison.

It'll drop one in it's tracks with a cannon ball size hole out the back. I drop them with an AR in .223 and 300 blackout. Shot placement is the key. Shoot one in the guts with a .450 and it'ii run for miles with it's guts dragging behind it.

Shaun, No the 450 Bushy is not too much bullet to harvest a deer. And because of its design the round is a great brush gun that will go through leaves and little branches without veering off like a spitzer shaped round.
