20rds – 500 Nitro Express Hornady Dangerous Game Series 570gr. DGX Ammo

Hornady Ammunition 570 Grain DGX Ammo Details

The 500 Nitro Express is not exactly a plinking cartridge -- when you chamber it, you’re very likely doing so because you’re concerned as to whether the sudden manifestation of a grizzly bear or mountain lion could very quickly turn you into dinner. Whether you’re going after one of Africa’s Big Five or venturing through Alaska, this round from Hornady’s Dangerous Game Series line of ammunition is the perfect one to have handy in your chamber.

This cartridge features its manufacturer’s 570 grain DGX (Dangerous Game eXpanding) projectile. Its copper-clad steel jacket is very thick at nearly 0.1”, giving it the substance needed to crash through even the most rugged beast’s hide and bones. That jacket is bonded to its core, enabling the two to avoid separating as they penetrate deeply through a target. This bullet’s flat nose and serrated sections provide expansion up to double the bullet’s starting diameter, creating a wound channel that even the most legendary of bears will have a hard time shaking off. Don’t wind up like that poor guy from The Revenant -- invest in this round today.
