This specialized hunting ammunition is designed to deliver reliable deep penetration through thick hide, dense muscle, and heavy bone, a necessity when pursuing dangerous animals.
Each 500-grain DGS bullet is constructed to maintain its mass and integrity upon impact, ensuring a straight and deep wound channel.
