The Hornady DGS bullets feature an advanced profile built of the toughest materials that penetrate through thick hide, dense muscle and hard bone – delivering maximum stopping power. The business end of the DGS bullet features a wide, flat nose that delivers maximum energy upon impact, while resisting bullet deformation and deflection. Incorporating a very hard high antimony lead core with a copper-clad steel jacket, this bullet maintains integrity and overall weight retention when driving through even the toughest hide and bone. Uniform in shape and size to the DGX (Dangerous Game eXpanding) bullet, you can reliably and accurately shoot both from the same firearm with little to no shift in point of aim or impact.

I wanted to load up some heavy bullets for 45-70 per the Hornady manual and these did not disappoint. Hornady quality was as expected. Very happy with these and would recommend. Might not shoot a steady diet of them but for every once in a while it stretches the capabilities of the Ruger No.1.

Dangerous game solids have a relatively easy job: strike a target with sufficient force to penetrate deep and then hold together. A number of dangerous game solids have failed at that over the years, including prior versions of this bullet. The DGS since the early 2000s has been excellent, and has a steel jacket sufficiently thick to render it comparable to a brass or copper monolithic in terms of deformation. This matters a great deal for the .458 WM, where the lower density of copper or brass seriously impacts powder capacity in an already short case. Be advised that the cannelure on this bullet will set a COAL o just over 3.1" in a .458 WM, though in a Mauser action that's magazine length regardless.
