Hornady manufactures Dangerous Game Series ammunition with only the finest components, under strict quality control measures. The classic bullet designs are tailored to meet the needs of the serious safari hunter.
Hornady uses techniques and processes that rival hand loads, with the ultimate goal of making every cartridge accurate, deadly and dependable!
Features :
- High Performance Hornady Bullets: 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.
- 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 1½ 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 the Dangerous Game Series loads feature Superformance propellant technology.
- Case and Primer: Like all Hornady ammunition, the Dangerous Game ammunition uses the highest quality cases and primers available. Consistent components translate to consistent shooting in the field.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
Based on the 375 Ruger case necked up to take a .416-inch bullet, the 416 Ruger was developed by Hornady and Ruger and introduced in 2009. Its 2.580-inch unbelted case allows it to be housed in a standard (30-06) length action, making an extremely tidy powerhouse. Hornady's load uses a 400-grain bullet at 2350 feet per second, so the 416 Ruger isn't quite as powerful as the 416 Rigby or Remington Magnum...but is close enough as to be almost indistinguishable. Chambered in the Ruger Hawkeye, the 416 Ruger has not yet become nearly as popular as the 375 Ruger, but it is one of the most compact and least expensive packages ideal for the largest game.
