The Hornady DGX Bonded (Dangerous Game eXpanding) in .458 calibre at 500 grains is a controlled-expansion component bullet built for the most demanding dangerous-game applications — where a bullet must open reliably yet retain its mass and drive deep through even the heaviest animals. A thick 0.098-inch copper-clad steel jacket is chemically bonded to the lead core, preventing jacket-core separation under the extreme forces of high-energy impact on bone. The flat nose carries serrated sections that initiate uniform expansion to 1½ to 2 times the bullet's original diameter from 100 to 150 yards, with the straight penetration needed to stay on course through thick hide and dense muscle. As with all Hornady DGX Bonded bullets, the 500-grain version shares the same external profile as the corresponding DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) bullet, allowing handloaders to regulate both types from the same rifle with minimal point-of-aim shift — invaluable when dealing with dangerous game. Sold as component bullets for handloading.
