Hornady 4507 DGS .458 Cal 500gr FMJ Round Nose Bullets 50/Box

The Hornady 4507 DGS (Dangerous Game Series) delivers proven penetration and reliability for large caliber applications. These .458 caliber bullets feature Hornady's signature construction designed specifically for dangerous game hunting and heavy-duty applications.

What Makes This Different

The DGS design incorporates a full metal jacket with round nose profile that maintains trajectory stability through dense materials. Unlike standard FMJ bullets, the DGS construction utilizes a harder lead core and thicker jacket wall to prevent deformation on impact with heavy bone or muscle. This engineering ensures straight-line penetration depths exceeding 36 inches in ballistic gelatin testing.

Key Features

• 500-grain weight provides maximum momentum transfer for large game
• Full metal jacket construction prevents expansion for deep penetration
• Round nose profile reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange
• Harder lead core resists deformation under extreme impact forces
• Precise .458 diameter ensures consistent chambering in standard rifles
• AMP (Advanced Manufacturing Process) jacket ensures concentricity
• 50 bullets per box provides sufficient quantity for load development

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The round nose design feeds reliably in both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms chambered in .458 Winchester Magnum, .458 Lott, and similar cartridges. Accuracy testing shows sub-2 MOA groups at 100 yards when loaded to proper specifications.
