Handloaders chasing buffalo and other heavy, dangerous game will find the Hornady 525 gr DGX in 505 calibre a heavy-game projectile that fits the job. It measures .505" in diameter with a G1 ballistic coefficient of .270, and it suits hunters of dangerous game who want controlled expansion with deep penetration. Hornady lists this weight for the 505 Gibbs.
The DGX (Dangerous Game eXpanding) combines a tough copper-clad steel jacket with a high-antimony lead core for limited, controlled expansion, high weight retention and deep penetration. The flat nose aids expansion and straight-line penetration, and the serrated nose section of the jacket works with the sidewall thickness profile to control how far it opens. It is built to the same profile as the corresponding DGS solid so both shoot to the same point of impact.
