The .375 Ruger is a serious cartridge, and Hornady's Dangerous Game Series gives it a load that matches its capability. This 300-grain DGX Bonded round is loaded specifically for hunters pursuing dangerous and heavy-bodied game, from Cape buffalo and lions in Africa to elk, moose, and brown bear closer to home.
The DGX Bonded bullet is the heart of this round. DGX stands for Dangerous Game eXpanding, and the construction backs that name up. A copper-clad steel jacket is chemically bonded to the lead core, which prevents the two from separating on impact with tough material like heavy bone or thick hide. On expansion, the bullet opens to roughly 1.5 to 2 times its original diameter while retaining the weight and momentum needed for deep penetration. The jacket wall runs a full 0.098 inches thick, and the flat-nose profile with serrated sections promotes straight, consistent expansion from 100 to 150 yards without deflection. It's built to the same external profile as Hornady's DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) non-expanding bullet, so if you run both in a double rifle, the point of impact stays consistent.
Powder selection in the Dangerous Game line is matched load by load, with Hornady dialing in pressure and velocity not just for bolt guns but also to regulate properly in double rifles. Brass cases and primers are held to tight tolerances to keep performance consistent shot to shot. Muzzle velocity comes in at 2,660 fps with 4,713 ft-lbs of energy, backed by a sectional density of .305 and a G1 BC of .275.
Each box contains 20 centerfire rifle rounds. This is hunting ammo built for once-in-a-lifetime situations, loaded with the quality controls to make sure it does its job.
The DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) is a non-expanding bullet built for maximum straight-line penetration on the thickest-skinned animals like elephant, rhino, and hippo. The DGX Bonded is designed to expand to roughly 1.5 to 2 times its diameter on impact while still punching deep through heavy muscle and bone. Both are built to the same external profile, which is a big deal for double-rifle shooters who need both barrels hitting the same point of impact.
Yes, and Hornady specifically accounts for this. The Dangerous Game Series powders are selected and matched load by load with double-rifle regulation in mind, so pressure and velocity are dialed in to help the two barrels shoot together. It's one of the few factory loads that actually considers double-rifle hunters as part of the design process.
This round is built for serious, heavy-bodied and dangerous game, including Cape buffalo, lion, leopard, black bear, brown bear, elk, moose, and similar animals where deep penetration and reliable expansion are non-negotiable. The high sectional density of .305 and the bonded construction make it well-suited for any situation where you need the bullet to stay together and keep going. It would be overkill on deer-sized game.
The copper-clad steel jacket is chemically bonded to the lead core, which keeps the two from separating even under the extreme stress of hitting dense bone or tough hide at close range. The jacket wall itself is a substantial 0.098 inches thick, and the bonding process is what separates this from conventional cup-and-core designs that can shed weight or come apart on impact.
This load is chambered for the .375 Ruger cartridge, so it's compatible with any rifle chambered in .375 Ruger, including bolt-action and double-rifle configurations. The .375 Ruger is not interchangeable with .375 H&H Magnum, so make sure your rifle's barrel is specifically marked .375 Ruger before loading.
Each box contains 20 rounds of centerfire rifle ammunition. Full cases are packed with 6 boxes, for a total of 120 rounds per case. For hunters heading on an extended safari or planning a significant amount of pre-hunt practice, buying by the case is worth considering.
