Safari Hunting
The 458 Win Mag is one of the all-time great safari cartridges. (It’s also nifty for hunting quail if you are skilled/mentally unstable enough.) If you’d like a rifle cartridge that would likely be overkill on even the brawniest bull moose, then you’ll love what Hornady cooked up for you in Nebraska.
This Dangerous Game load features Hornady’s DGX Bonded bullet. At 500 grains it boasts a muzzle energy above 5,000 ft lbs, which puts it in safe range for hunting elephant and other very large critters that could crush you like a Raisinette – or sharpen their banana-sized fangs on you.
The DGX Bonded’s copper-clad steel jacket is indeed tightly fused to its core, fortifying the bullet for intact passage through the toughest hides and densest bones in the wild. Unlike Hornady’s DGS, the DGX is designed to expand 1.5 to 2 times its original diameter. As the bullet still carries nearly 4,000 ft lbs of energy at 100 yards, it has a lot of paralyzing power to throw outward as it excavates a massive wound channel into massive game.
The quality of Hornady’s products is always top-notch, though you can take even greater assurance that you won’t become the prey when you chamber this Dangerous Game cartridge. Its carefully matched primer and propellant guarantee a fixed chamber pressure, and its select brass case is the best Hornady can achieve.
