Deep Dive

Overview

This ammunition is intentionally crafted for hunters targeting dangerous game, such as elephants, rhinos, and Cape buffalo. Dangerous Game Solid rounds like this one from Hornady are engineered for uncompromising penetration and weight retention. The heavy 400-grain bullet construction is purpose-built to navigate through thick skins and high bone density, reaching vital areas with maximal energy transfer for an efficient kill. The design ensures that even if the bullet encounters heavy brush or unpredictable animal movement, its trajectory remains stable and reliable, maintaining the precision needed for such high-stakes scenarios.

History and Development

Hornady's development of the Dangerous Game series aligns with its tradition of producing specialized ammunition for precise needs. Founded in 1949, Hornady has consistently innovated their offerings to match both the technological advancements in firearms and the evolving requirements of hunting. The Dangerous Game series reflects the founding mission—to provide accurate, deadly, and dependable rounds. Each round is extensively tested in field conditions akin to African safaris, where reliability isn't just desired but is necessary for safety and success.
