The Hornady Back Country 454 Casull ammunition delivers devastating terminal performance with precision engineering for serious hunting applications. This premium cartridge features a 300-grain MonoFlex bullet specifically designed to handle the extreme pressures and velocities of the 454 Casull while maintaining exceptional accuracy downrange.
What Makes This Different
The MonoFlex bullet construction sets this ammunition apart from traditional lead-core hunting rounds. The solid copper alloy bullet expands reliably at lower velocities while maintaining structural integrity at magnum speeds. This design eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while delivering consistent weight retention above 95%, ensuring deep penetration through tough game.
