Hornady Dangerous Game 416 Rigby 400 Grain DGS Flat Nose Solid Ammunition - 20 Rounds

Hornady Dangerous Game 416 Rigby ammunition delivers the stopping power and deep penetration that African professional hunters and serious dangerous game hunters demand. This 400-grain DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) load pairs a flat-nose solid bullet with the ballistic precision Hornady is known for, chambered in the formidable 416 Rigby cartridge. Each box contains 20 rounds engineered for maximum reliability on the continent's most demanding hunts.

The DGS solid bullet construction is built around a hard antimony and lead core encased in a copper-steel jacket—a combination that prioritizes penetration and consistent performance through heavy bone and muscle. Unlike expanding rounds, solids maintain their profile and trajectory to reach vitals at distance or through brush, making them the choice of professional hunters who cannot afford deflection or expansion failure in the field.

Hornady's dangerous game line reflects decades of input from hunters and ballisticians who live this work. Every component, from powder to primer to jacket, is selected for consistency and terminal performance under real conditions—not just range assumptions. The 416 Rigby's proven reputation for power is matched here by ammunition that honors the cartridge's heritage and capability.
