Hornady 82666 Dangerous Game 416 Ruger 400gr Solid Ammo 20rd

The Hornady 82666 Dangerous Game ammunition delivers maximum penetration and bone-crushing power for the most challenging big game hunting scenarios. This 416 Ruger load features a 400-grain solid bullet specifically engineered to drive straight through heavy bone and dense muscle on the world's largest and most dangerous animals.

What Makes This Different

Unlike conventional expanding bullets that can fragment or deflect on heavy bone, the Dangerous Game Solid maintains its structural integrity throughout penetration. The monolithic copper-alloy construction and flat meplat design create devastating wound channels while ensuring straight-line penetration through cape buffalo, elephant, and other thick-skinned game. Hornady's precision manufacturing delivers consistent velocities and accuracy that hunters depend on when there's no room for error.

Key Features

Field performance centers on deep, straight-line penetration that reaches vital organs regardless of shot angle or bone interference. Professional hunters and guides rely on this ammunition when pursuing cape buffalo in thick cover or following up wounded dangerous game. The solid construction maintains momentum through heavy shoulder bones and dense tissue that would stop conventional hunting bullets. Weather-resistant primer sealing ensures reliable ignition in humid tropical conditions.
