Hornady Back Country 460 S&W Magnum 300gr GMX Hunting Ammo

The Hornady Back Country 460 S&W Magnum delivers maximum stopping power for big game hunting with its 300-grain GMX bullet design. This premium hunting ammunition combines deep penetration with controlled expansion for ethical, one-shot kills on large game animals.

What Makes This Different

The GMX (Gilding Metal eXpanding) bullet construction sets this ammunition apart from traditional lead-core hunting rounds. The monolithic copper-alloy design retains 95% of its weight upon impact, creating devastating wound channels while maintaining structural integrity. Unlike fragmenting bullets, the GMX delivers consistent performance across varying impact velocities and distances.

Key Features

• 300-grain GMX monolithic bullet for maximum weight retention
• Lead-free construction meets California hunting regulations
• Optimized powder charge for 460 S&W Magnum revolvers
• Brass cases engineered for reliable feeding and extraction
• Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and accuracy
• 20 rounds per box packaging for hunting applications
• Consistent velocities averaging 1,900 fps from 8.5-inch barrels

Field performance demonstrates exceptional terminal ballistics on elk, moose, and dangerous game at ranges up to 150 yards. The controlled expansion design penetrates heavy bone and muscle tissue while creating sufficient wound trauma for quick, humane kills. Weather-resistant primer and powder charges maintain reliability in extreme hunting conditions from sub-zero temperatures to desert heat.
