Description

Hornady's Dangerous Game Series ammunition is designed specifically for large game and safari hunting. All ammunition is designed to work well in all rifles, and meticulous attention was devoted to ensure that ammunition regulate properly in both classic doubles and their younger counterparts. The DGX Bonded (Dangerous Game eXpanding) bullets are made with a hard lead/antimony alloy cone, surrounded by a copper clad steel jacket. These bullets feature a flat meplat for straighter penetration and create more energy transfer than a simple round profile bullet.
