At the core of this load is Hornady’s jacketed DGH bullet, featuring a protected point that locks the nose to the core to ensure maximum straight-line penetration while reducing the chance of deflection. Designed for big-bore revolvers, this round maintains structural integrity on impact with tough hide, bone, or dense brush. Unlike hard cast bullets, the jacketed design eliminates lead smoke, allowing for cleaner, faster follow-up shots when seconds matter.
This cartridge reflects Hornady’s commitment to reliability and field performance. With premium brass, consistent powder metering, and tight quality control, the Backcountry Defense .454 Casull gives you confidence in every round—no matter how remote your location.
