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.

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.
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.
