20rds – 404 Jeffery Hornady Dangerous Game Series 400gr. DGS Ammo

Hornady Ammunition 400 Grain Dangerous Game Solid Ammo Details

The 404 Jeffery was designed specifically for hunting Africa’s Big Five, and this cartridge from Hornady’s Dangerous Game Series ensures the caliber will perform admirably while you’re out hunting the largest creatures to roam the savannah. (North America’s grizzlies wouldn’t fare much better against this round than a rhino would, too.)

This cartridge features its manufacturer’s 400 grain DGS projectile. The bullet’s broad, flat meplat transmits simply outstanding energy upon impact, and is less likely to be turned aside by tough hide than a round nose bullet would be. The rigid nose of the DGS further works to prevent deformation that would have lessened its accuracy. The DGS has a heavy copper clad steel jacket wrapped around its tough high antimony lead core, so it’s robust enough to penetrate the densest muscle and shatter the thickest bone.

That this round’s bullet has the same profile as Hornady’s 404 Jeffery 400 grain DGX projectile means you may use the two interchangeably without adjusting your scope. Hornady’s first rate brass casing can withstand this round’s fantastic chamber pressure with flying colors, and even stands to be reloaded after the fact if you would like.
