Hornady DGS Dangerous Game Solid Bullets
Built for hunters pursuing the world's most dangerous game, the Hornady DGS represents a serious commitment to terminal performance. This is a bullet engineered from the ground up to handle the most demanding hunting scenarios.
Design and Construction
The DGS features an aggressive, flat-nose profile specifically designed to maximize energy transfer upon impact. The construction combines a very hard, high-antimony lead core with a copper-clad steel jacket of exceptional thickness. This combination delivers the penetration needed to drive through thick hide, dense muscle, and hard bone while maintaining structural integrity.
Performance Characteristics
- Flat nose design maximizes energy delivery and resists deflection
- Hard copper-clad steel jacket prevents bullet deformation and separation
- High-antimony lead core maintains weight retention through the entire wound channel
- Caliber .423 suits rifles chambered for this specialized dangerous game cartridge
- 400-grain weight provides the momentum necessary for deep, reliable penetration
Practical Considerations
This is not a bullet for casual shooting. The DGS is purpose-built for serious hunters who understand the ethical responsibility of pursuing dangerous game. Each box contains 50 bullets, allowing for adequate practice and hunting applications. The 400-grain weight demands proper rifle selection and recoil management, but rewards the prepared shooter with uncompromising terminal performance.
