The Hornady 82672 Dangerous Game ammunition delivers the terminal performance African hunters demand when facing dangerous game at close quarters. This 416 Remington Magnum load features the proven DGX Bonded bullet design that maintains structural integrity through heavy bone and muscle.
What Makes This Different
The DGX Bonded bullet construction uses InterLock technology to mechanically bond the copper jacket to the lead core, preventing separation on impact. Unlike conventional soft points that may fragment, this bonded design retains 95% of its weight while expanding to 1.5x original diameter. The flat nose profile creates a large wound channel and straight-line penetration through heavy bone structure.
Key Features
- 400-grain DGX Bonded bullet with InterLock bonding technology
- Flat nose design for maximum tissue disruption and straight penetration
- Controlled expansion to 1.5x diameter while retaining 95% weight
- Premium brass cases with consistent neck tension and primer pockets
- Muzzle velocity of 2,400 fps generating 5,115 ft-lbs of energy
- 20 rounds per box, 6 boxes per case (120 total rounds)
- Optimized powder charge for consistent velocities in various barrel lengths
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,600 to 2,600 fps, making this load effective across hunting distances from 50 to 200 yards. The bonded construction handles shoulder shots on cape buffalo and elephant without deflection, while the flat nose profile transfers maximum energy to the target. Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent performance in African heat or Alaskan cold.
