Description

Hornady Dangerous Game ammunition in .375 Ruger (brand part no. 8232) loads a 300-grain DGS soft 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. DGS is built to drive deep through thick hide, dense muscle, and hard bone, the follow-up punch to the DGX Bonded bullet’s controlled expansion in Hornady’s dangerous-game lineup. For .375 Ruger hunters headed after the biggest, toughest game, this rifle ammunition is built for that penetration.
