The Hornady 82322 Dangerous Game ammunition delivers maximum penetration and stopping power for the world's most dangerous big game hunting scenarios. This 375 H&H Magnum load features a 300-grain DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) bullet engineered specifically for deep, straight-line penetration on thick-skinned African game.
What Makes This Different
The DGS bullet construction uses a copper-clad steel jacket with a flat meplat design that creates a larger wound channel while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle. Unlike traditional soft-point bullets that can fragment or deflect, this solid bullet maintains its weight and trajectory for consistent performance on cape buffalo, elephant, and other dangerous game. The controlled expansion design ensures maximum energy transfer without over-penetration concerns in hunting situations.
Key Features
- 300-grain DGS solid bullet for maximum penetration and weight retention
- Copper-clad steel jacket construction resists deformation and fragmentation
- Flat meplat design creates larger wound channels than round-nose bullets
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
- Optimized powder charge delivers 2530 fps muzzle velocity

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-2-inch groups at 100 yards from quality bolt-action rifles. The heavy bullet weight maintains energy downrange, delivering over 4,000 foot-pounds of muzzle energy for immediate stopping power. Weather-sealed primers and cases perform reliably in humid African conditions and temperature extremes. Professional hunters rely on this load's predictable terminal performance when client safety depends on immediate incapacitation.
