Hornady Dangerous Game 416 Rem Mag 400gr DGS Ammo - 20 Rounds/Box

Hornady Dangerous Game 416 Rem Mag ammunition loaded with 400-grain DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) bullets is purpose-built for hunters pursuing Africa's toughest species—lion, Cape buffalo, elephant, and other dangerous game where deep penetration and reliability are non-negotiable. The DGS solid construction, paired with a copper-steel jacket and hard antimony-lead alloy core, delivers the straight-line penetration required on heavy, thick-skinned game at any distance or angle. Each box contains 20 rounds of ammunition engineered to perform when it matters most.

The 416 Rem Mag is a proven dangerous game cartridge, and Hornady's Dangerous Game Series ammunition maximizes its terminal performance with bullet designs refined by the company's own hunters and ballisticians. A solid bullet like the DGS eliminates expansion variables and guarantees consistent, deep wound channels—critical when a charging buffalo or lion is the target. The high ballistic coefficient of the 400-grain DGS means flatter trajectory and retained velocity at the distances typical of dangerous game hunting, whether you're glassing from a ridge or responding to a close-quarters encounter.

If your 416 Rem Mag is your go-to rifle for Africa or you're preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime dangerous game hunt, Hornady Dangerous Game ammunition brings the terminal performance and consistency that seasoned professional hunters and serious amateurs trust. Built by shooters and hunters who understand what happens downrange when the trigger breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DGS bullet, and how does it differ from expanding bullets?

DGS stands for Dangerous Game Solid. Unlike expanding (DGX) bullets, solids maintain their mass and structure from entry to exit, creating a deep, consistent wound channel regardless of impact velocity or bone. Solids are preferred for thick-skinned dangerous game because they guarantee penetration through muscle, bone, and vital organs without losing energy to expansion.

Is the 416 Rem Mag 400-grain DGS suitable for long-range dangerous game hunting?

Yes. The high ballistic coefficient of the 400-grain DGS provides flatter trajectory and better velocity retention at extended distances compared to lighter bullets, allowing for ethical shots at longer ranges typical of dangerous game hunts in open terrain.

What game is this ammunition designed for?

Hornady Dangerous Game Series ammunition is engineered for heavy, dangerous game including lion, Cape buffalo, elephant, and other thick-skinned species where deep penetration and reliable terminal performance are essential for ethical, safe hunting.
