Hornady 500-416 Nitro Express 400 Grain Dangerous Game Expanding DGX Ammunition, 20 Rounds Per Box Md: 82681
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 our new 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.
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. —
