Deep Dive

Overview

Hornady's Backcountry Defense ammunition provides the peace of mind necessary for those exploring the wilderness where predator encounters are a real hazard. The dangerous game ammunition is designed to reliably penetrate large animal hides and bones, ensuring straight-line travel to the vital organs necessary for quick incapacitation. This performance is critical for those who may encounter bears or other large predators while hunting or hiking. The jacketed hollow point design not only aids in penetration but also ensures expansion at various ranges, providing versatility across different scenarios.

History and Development

Hornady has long been a formidable name in the ammunition industry, renowned for their innovation and quality. The development of the Backcountry Defense line was driven by the need for highly reliable self-defense ammunition for those exploring remote or dangerous areas. By incorporating advancements in bullet jacket and core construction, Hornady engineers have enabled these rounds to perform exceptionally against formidable environmental challenges and wildlife threats. The Dangerous Game Handgun line reflects a culmination of precision engineering and real-world testing, ensuring that users can rely on their ammunition when it matters most.
