Hornady Dangerous Game 500-416 Nitro Express 400 Gr DGX Boded 20/Bx
DGX® Bonded bullets are built to the same profile as the corresponding DGS® (Dangerous Game™ Solid) bullets but expand to 1½ to 2 times their bullet diameter. They feature a copper-clad steel jacket bonded to a lead core to provide limited, controlled expansion with deep penetration and high weight retention. Bonding the jacket to the core prevents separation from high-energy impact on tough material like bone, ensuring the bullet stays together for deep expansion.

The 500/416 3 1/4" Nitro Express was introduced by Krieghoff in 1996. It was the first cartridge since before WWII to be called "Nitro Express" and its name says it all: It is based on the 500 Nitro Express case necked down to take a .416-inch bullet, with case length of 3.25 inches. Designed for double rifles, it is loaded to lower pressure than the several 416s for bolt actions, propelling a 410-grain bullet at 2325 fps for just under 5000 ft-lbs of energy. Now chambered by most makers of modern doubles, it is adequate for the largest game, yet with its higher velocity shoots flatter and is thus more versatile than the older big-bore Nitro Express cartridges. —
