Hornady DGS Bullets, .45 Caliber 500gr Full Metal Jacket

Hornady DGS Bullets, .45 Caliber 500gr Full Metal Jacket (Hornady part no. 4507) are an aggressive, hard-hitting bullet built with an advanced profile and the toughest materials Hornady puts into a dangerous-game bullet. The DGS is engineered to penetrate through thick hide, dense muscle, and hard bone while delivering maximum stopping power. A wide, flat nose at the business end delivers maximum energy on impact while resisting bullet deformation and deflection, and a very hard high-antimony lead core wrapped in a copper-clad steel jacket keeps the bullet’s integrity and weight retention intact even driving through the toughest hide and bone.

Key Specifications

• .45 Caliber is the bore diameter Hornady machined this bullet for.
• 500 grains is this bullet’s weight, built for penetration on the largest dangerous game.
• 50 per box is the quantity included, packaged 15 boxes to a case.
• Full metal jacket round nose is this bullet’s profile, built for straight-line penetration rather than expansion.
• High-antimony lead core is harder than a standard lead core, which helps this bullet hold together on impact.
• Copper-clad steel jacket wraps that hard core, adding further structural integrity through dense bone and tissue.
• Deformation and deflection resistance is engineered into the flat nose, keeping the bullet on a straight penetration path.
• Weight retention stays high through the toughest hide and bone thanks to the core and jacket combination.
• Maximum stopping power is what Hornady built this bullet’s profile and core hardness around, distinct from an expanding hunting bullet.
