DGX Bonded bullets are built to the same profile as the corresponding DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) bullets but expand to 11/2 to 2 times their bullet diameter. They feature a copper-clad steel jacket bonded to a lead core to provide limited, controlled expansion with deep penetration and high weight retention. Bonding the jacket to the core prevents separation from high-energy impact on tough material like bone, ensuring the bullet stays together for deep expansion.
From the InterLock SP-RP bullets to the heavy-hitting DGS and DGX bullets, each Dangerous Game Series load is topped with a deadly projectile.
Ideal for dangerous and large game hunting
Like all Hornady ammunition, our Dangerous Game ammunition uses the highest quality cases and primers available. Consistent components translate to consistent shooting in the field.
Powders are carefully matched to each load to ensure optimum pressure and velocity, and to regulate in double rifles. Some of our Dangerous Game Series loads feature Superformance propellant technology.
SP-RP stands for "spire point - recoil proof," and the design of this bullet eliminates the problem of tip deformation during recoil. These heavy-duty InterLock bullets combine rugged design with improved trajectory in dangerous game rifles.
The DGS non-expanding bullet is recommended for thick-skinned game such as elephant, rhino and hippo. Its tough copper clad steel jacket is designed to provide maximum penetration from all angles on thick-skinned and heavy boned dangerous game animals.
