Hornady DGS 450 Rigby 480 Grains 20 per Box Ammunition Hornady DGS bullets feature an advanced profile built of the toughest materials that penetrate through thick hide, dense muscle and hard bone. This bullet delivers maximum stopping power. The business end of the DGS bullet features a wide, flat nose that delivers maximum energy upon impact while resisting bullet deformation and deflection. Incorporating a very hard, high antimony lead core with a copper clad, steel jacket, this bullet maintains integrity and overall weight retention when driving through even the toughest hide and bone. Uniform in shape and size to the DGX (Dangerous Game Expanding) bullet, you can reliably and accurately shoot both from the same firearm with little to no shift in point of aim or impact. Caliber: 450 Rigby Bullet Type: Dangerous Game Solid Bullet Weight: 480 GR Rounds Per Box: 20 Boxes Per Case: 6 Application: Large Game Casing Material: Brass Coefficient: .285

450 Rigby Rimless was introduced by Rigby's Paul Roberts in 1995. It is based on the big 416 Rigby case necked up to take a .458-inch bullet, thus is essentially a rimless version of the 460 Weatherby Magnum. The 450 Rigby Rimless easily achieves 2350 feet per second with a 500-grain bullet, thus developing nearly 6000 foot-pounds of energy. The 450 Rigby Rimless was first used in Africa in 1994 by Craig Boddington and Paul Roberts. It is extremely effective on Africa's largest game. Although slightly more powerful than the 458 Lott, its primary drawback is that, like all cartridges based on the 416 Rigby case, it requires an extra-large magnum bolt action. 416 Rigby Rimless is loaded by Kynoch and Norma as well as custom suppliers.
