They should rework the entire ammo system. There are alot of ammo types which either perform similar to others while covering different classes and there are some which are to weak to effectively cover their classes
the .450 Bushmaster irl is nowhere near as powerful as handloaded 45-70 (which can be just as powerful as 375 H&H) but the .450 could be buffed to 4-8
Do you know what a .45-70 is? It’s literally the round that won the west. It’s one the most powerful large game rounds that is commonly used. In game it is insanely weak. It deserves to be class 4-9 (maybe 5/6-9 instead) while the .450 is lucky to even be a class 4-7 seeing as it’s a pretty trash round for Elk irl.
You're right... I was talking about 450 Marlin... The game doesn't do justice to the 45-70 either 🤷♀️
Well yeah I do know what's a 45-70 lol. I was comparing it to the 450 Marlin, not bushmaster. You're right when you say the game makes it weaker than it actually is. Tho it's weaker than .338 and even .300 win mag in term of energy... I meant no offense with what I said. I kinda misunderstood that they put the 450 bushmaster instead of the 450 marlin. Which would have been nice cuz they didn't do justice to the 45-70.
The round that "won the west" is actually the .44-40 Winchester (or .44 WCF) because it could be used both in a Winchester 1873 lever action as well as a Colt single action army. That made it the practical for frontiersmen, lawmen, and cowboys to carry so they only had to carry one type of ammo. This interchangability made it the most popular round at that time. 44 caliber bullet with 40 grains of powder. The 45-70 (45 caliber bullet with 70 grains of powder) was predominantly a military round and for hunting Bison as well as being the most popular round for big game animals but wasnt the "round that won the west"
