Hornady 8239 Dangerous Game 404 Jeffery 400gr Solid Ammo 20rd

The Hornady Dangerous Game Series 404 Jeffery ammunition delivers the deep penetration and terminal performance required for Africa's most dangerous game. This 400-grain solid construction provides maximum weight retention and straight-line penetration through heavy bone and dense muscle tissue.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard hunting ammunition, Hornady Dangerous Game Solid bullets feature a homogeneous copper-alloy construction that maintains 95-100% weight retention. The flat meplat design creates a larger wound channel while the streamlined profile ensures deep, straight penetration even through heavy shoulder bones. Factory testing demonstrates consistent penetration depths exceeding 40 inches in ballistic gelatin.
