Hornady 450 Rigby Dangerous Game Ammunition, 480 Grains, DGS Round Nose Solid, Per 20 Md: 82662
Hornady InterLock and FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bullets have reached legendary status among safari hunters, and we've raised the bar again with the introduction of the best large game bullets we've ever seen - the DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) and the DGX (Dangerous Game eXpanding).Both bullets are made with a hard lead/antimony alloy cone, surrounded by a copper clad steel jacket. These bullets feature a flat meplat for straighter penetration and create more energy transfer than a simple round profile bullet.
Hornady Dangerous Game Series ammunition is designed specifically for large game and safari hunting. These cartridges feature both classic bullets, like the 270 gr InterLock Spire Point-Recoil Proof, as well as a flagship DGS and DGX bullets. All ammunition is designed to work well in all rifles, and meticulous attention was devoted to ensure that ammunition like the 450/400 Nitro Express 3", and 450 Nitro Express 3-1/4" regulate properly in both classic doubles and their younger counterparts.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
450 Rigby Rimless was introduced by Rigby's Paul Roberts in 1995. It is based on the big 416 Rigby case necked up to take a .458-inch bullet, thus is essentially a rimless version of the 460 Weatherby Magnum. The 450 Rigby Rimless easily achieves 2350 feet per second with a 500-grain bullet, thus developing nearly 6000 foot-pounds of energy. The 450 Rigby Rimless was first used in Africa in 1994 by Craig Boddington and Paul Roberts. It is extremely effective on Africa's largest game. Although slightly more powerful than the 458 Lott, its primary drawback is that, like all cartridges based on the 416 Rigby case, it requires an extra-large magnum bolt action. 416 Rigby Rimless is loaded by Kynoch and Norma as well as custom suppliers. —
