At the core of this round is Hornady’s jacketed DGH bullet, featuring a protected point that locks the nose to the core. This design ensures maximum penetration with reduced risk of bullet deflection, even through dense bone and thick hide. Unlike traditional hard cast bullets, the DGH design eliminates lead smoke, allowing for faster, cleaner follow-up shots in critical situations.
The Backcountry Defense line is engineered to deliver rugged reliability in remote or dangerous conditions. With carefully selected brass casings and precise powder charges, each round provides the consistent velocity and performance needed to protect against apex predators and other serious threats in the wild.
