Hornady Dangerous Game 458 Lott 500 Grain DGS Round Nose Solid Ammunition, 20 Rounds Per Box Md: 8262
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 458 Lott was developed by Jack Lott in 1971. It is essentially a full-length version of the 458 Winchester Magnum, using the 375 H&H case necked up with a straight taper and 2.8-inch case length. The 458 Lott solves the problem of compressed powder charges required to reach full velocity in the shorter 458 Winchester Magnum case. However, the 458 Lott requires a full-length (375 H&H) action, while the 458 Winchester Magnum was designed to be housed in standard (30-06) actions. The 458 Lott became a popular wildcat and was added to the Hornady line in 2002. The 458 Lott is considerably faster and more powerful than is possible with the 458 Winchester Magnum, propelling a 500-grain bullet up to 2300 feet per second, thus more than adequate for any game that walks. Adding to its versatility, lighter-recoiling and readily available 458 Winchester Magnum ammunition can be fired in a 458 Lott chamber with absolute safety. —
