Hornady 450 Nitro Exp 3 1/4" 480gr DGX Bonded Dangerous Game Rifle Ammunition

Hornady Dangerous Game Series ammunition is engineered with premium components under strict quality control measures to satisfy the rigorous demands of safari hunters. Each cartridge is assembled using advanced manufacturing techniques that rival fine handloads, delivering exceptional accuracy, terminal performance, and reliable cycling in heavy-caliber rifles.

This cartridge is loaded with the 480-grain DGX Bonded bullet, featuring a heavy copper-clad steel jacket chemically bonded to a lead core. This construction controls expansion to 1.5 to 2 times the original projectile diameter while resisting core-jacket separation on impact with heavy bone, ensuring deep penetration and maximum weight retention.

Propellants and primers are carefully selected and matched to each load to ensure optimal pressure, dependable ignition, and proper barrel regulation in double rifles. Consistent, high-grade brass cases complete the cartridge, providing uniform chambering and shooting performance on large and dangerous game.
