Hornady 8262 Dangerous Game 458 Lott 500gr DGS Solid Ammo

The Hornady 8262 Dangerous Game ammunition delivers terminal performance when facing Africa's most dangerous game. This 458 Lott cartridge features a 500-grain Dangerous Game Solid bullet engineered for maximum penetration on thick-skinned animals. Premium components and precise manufacturing ensure consistent performance in life-or-death hunting situations.

What Makes This Different

The Dangerous Game Solid (DGS) bullet construction provides straight-line penetration without expansion, maintaining momentum through heavy bone and dense muscle tissue. Unlike conventional hunting bullets that expand and potentially deflect, the monolithic solid design punches through shoulder blades and reaches vital organs. Independent testing shows penetration depths exceeding 48 inches in ballistic gelatin, significantly outperforming standard soft-point ammunition.

Key Features

• 500-grain Dangerous Game Solid bullet for maximum penetration
• 458 Lott caliber delivers 5,140 ft-lbs of muzzle energy
• Monolithic copper-alloy construction prevents fragmentation
• Flat nose profile creates large wound channels
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
• Match-grade powder charges for velocity consistency
• 20 rounds per box, 6 boxes per case (120 total rounds)

Professional hunters and safari guides rely on this ammunition for buffalo, elephant, and rhino encounters where stopping power cannot be compromised. The 2,300 fps muzzle velocity maintains energy downrange while the solid construction eliminates bullet failure concerns. Weather-resistant primer sealing prevents moisture contamination during extended African hunts.
