The Hornady DGX (Dangerous Game eXpanding) bullet is built for controlled expansion on the toughest, most dangerous game in the world. Constructed with a tough, copper-clad steel jacket and high antimony lead core, it provided limited, controlled expansion with deep penetration and high weight retention. 

Built with the same profile as corresponding DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) bullets to match point of impact, Hornady provides the perfect combination of both expanding and non-expanding bullets for any situation.

DGX Product Features

Flat Nose - The flat nose aids in expansion and straight penetration, reducing possible deflections.

Serrated Nose Section - The serrated nose section of the jacket and the sidewall thickness profile give the ultimate combination of controlled expansion, weight retention and depth of penetration.

Copper Clad Steel Jacket - The thick, heavy copper clad steel jacket penetrates deeply through hide, muscle and bone. 

An aggressive, hard-hitting bullet with attitude!

The Hornady® DGS® bullets feature an advanced profile built of the toughest materials that penetrate through thick hide, dense muscle and hard bone — delivering 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.
