Product Summary

Hornady Dangerous Game Ammo 450 Nitro Express 3-1/4'' 480 Grain New Bonded DGX

This is the new Bonded DGX 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.

From African big game to the American Grizzly Bear, Hornady's Dangerous Game ammunition provides the shooter an exceptional load with more energy transfer and lots of knockdown power. The Hornady Dangerous Game Expanding bullets are designed for taking down the world's toughest and biggest game animals. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

The DGX Bonded (Dangerous Game eXpanding) bullet features 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. 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.

Caliber Dictionary

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 450 Nitro Express (450-3 1/4" NE) was designed and introduced by John Rigby in 1898. It was the first large-caliber Nitro Express cartridge case designed for smokeless powder, its long 3.25-inch case intended to reduce pressure with volatile Cordite propellant, and its straight-taper rimmed case designed for reliable extraction in double rifles and single shots. The 450 NE uses a .458-inch 480-grain bullet at 2150 feet per second, yielding 4926 foot-pounds. In bullet weight, velocity, and energy this cartridge set the standard that remains in place today for the world's largest game. Resurrected by Hornady and also loaded by Kynoch, the 450 NE has the advantage of a trimmer case than cartridges based on the 500 NE and thus can be housed in the Ruger Number One. It is currently chambered in most modern double rifles and some single shots, and remains a fine choice for Africa's thick-skinned game. — Craig Boddington
