Hornady DGS 423 Cal 400gr Dangerous Game Solid Bullets - 50/Box

The Hornady DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) 423 caliber bullets deliver maximum penetration and bone-crushing performance on the world's most dangerous game. These 400-grain solids feature Hornady's proven flat-nose design that drives straight through heavy bone and muscle without deflection.

What Makes This Different

Unlike conventional round-nose solids that can deflect off bone, the DGS features a flat meplat that punches through the heaviest bone structure while maintaining a straight wound channel. The precisely machined brass construction eliminates the lead core variability found in other designs. Independent testing shows 95% weight retention even after penetrating multiple feet of ballistic medium.

Key Features

• Flat-nose meplat design prevents deflection on heavy bone contact
• Machined brass construction with .423" diameter and 400-grain weight
• Optimized for .404 Jeffery, .416 Rigby, and similar dangerous game cartridges
• Consistent 0.500" length maintains uniform ballistic coefficient
• Non-expanding design ensures maximum penetration depth
• Boat-tail base design improves long-range accuracy
• 50 bullets per box with consistent weight sorting

Professional hunters and dangerous game guides rely on DGS bullets when a charging Cape buffalo or elephant requires immediate stopping power. The flat-nose design creates a larger permanent wound cavity than round-nose alternatives while the brass construction maintains structural integrity through heavy bone. These bullets maintain accuracy out to 200 yards while delivering the straight-line penetration essential for brain and heart shots on thick-skinned game.
