Most Americans don’t have to worry about how they would survive an attack from a bear, catamount, boar, moose, or other agitated wild animal. You, on the other hand, like to venture off the beaten path, which is why you’d best keep your 10mm Auto everyday carry loaded with Hornady Backcountry Defense ammunition.

This round’s 200 grain Dangerous Game Handgun bullet takes a different approach to terminal ballistics than a JHP. Its lead core is exposed at the tip, but its rim is soundly tethered to its jacket by special locks. These inhibit expansion, thus allowing the DGH to apply all of its energy toward one goal: the deepest penetration possible. That is why the DGH excels at accessing a large animal’s thickly armored vital organs. That is also why the DGH is inadvisable for defense in populated areas. It is certain to pass clean through a man-sized threat, at which point it poses a severe risk to innocent bystanders.

The DGH bullet’s base is shielded by copper jacket, which prevents aerosolization of lead on ignition. That’s perfect if you’d rather see your target instead of smoke!
