Hornady Dangerous Game ammunition in .375 Ruger (brand part no. 8231) loads a 270-grain InterLock spire point bullet, the deep-penetration half of Hornady’s dangerous-game pairing built to tackle Africa’s Big Five or the biggest game wherever you hunt. The Dangerous Game Series is produced with strict quality controls, matching powders carefully to each load for optimum pressure, velocity, and regulation in double rifles as well as bolt guns. This spire point’s InterLock band mechanically locks the jacket to the core, and the bullet is secured against setback under heavy recoil, so repeated recoil in a magazine cannot drive it deeper into the case. For .375 Ruger hunters headed after thick hide, dense muscle, and hard bone, this rifle ammunition is built for that penetration.
