Hornady Dangerous Game .470 Nitro Express 500 Grain Dangerous Game Solid Centerfire Rifle Ammunition

Hornady manufactures Dangerous Game Series ammunition with only the finest components, under strict quality control measures. Our classic bullet designs are tailored to meet the needs of the serious safari hunter. We use techniques that draw from thousands of hours of research and testing to develop the specific ammunition for each of our clients. This equates to using only the finest propellants and powders that we’ve scoured the world over to develop the specific ammunition for that hunt. We employ a patented process that we call Pre-Frame that distorts the projectile’s point of impact to increase its killing ability. We have even managed to reduce the overall weight of the bullet design by fusing a copper-steel plate over the bullet’s nose cone, a technique commonly used in bullets without fully filling the boat with base penetration. This allows the bullet to achieve a flat trajectory and ample energy transfer as the tip of the bullet impacts the target, enhancing the killing potential. Also, the patented Flex Tip feature built into the nose of the bullet does most of the work of forming the projectile’s nose with the rifle barrel, helping to stabilize it and provide additional stopping power as the bullet penetrates the tough, thin-skinned animal. This is the same tip used in many high-performance, match-grade bullets used in bench-rest competitions.

InterLock SP-RP Bullets: 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. DGS Bullets: 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. DGX Bonded Bullets: DGX Bonded bullets are built to the same profile as the corresponding DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) bullets but expand to 1 1/2 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. Powder: 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. Case And Primer: 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.
