The Hornady DGX (Dangerous Game Expanding) bullet is constructed of copper clad steel and a high antimony lead core. The DGX bullet incorporates a patented InterLock feature that locks the core and jacket together, improving retained weight of the expanded bullet.

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. —
