This cartridge’s enormous bullet is designed for one goal and one goal only: the deepest penetration possible. The DGS consists of a dense, high-antimony lead core and a solid steel jacket (which is clad in copper). The DGS’s flat nose minimizes the risk of deflection when it strikes dense bone, which does even more to help the bullet hold its course toward a large animal’s vital organs. There is zero terminal expansion that could lead to insufficient penetration on safari-sized quarries.
Hope you like recoil. This 460 Wby Mag cartridge’s 500 grain projectile and 2,600 fps muzzle velocity add up to over 7,500 ft lbs of energy at the muzzle. Its 0.295 G1 ballistic coefficient enables the bullet to carry 5,920 ft lbs of energy to 100 yards, 4,610 ft lbs to 200 yards, and 3,542 ft lbs to 300 yards. If it is centered up 2.5” and zeroed in at 200 yards, the bullet will exhibit around -11” drop at 300 yards.
