Product Overview

Midsouth now offers the 45 Caliber .458 Diameter 480 Grain DGX Bonded Bullet in a convenient 50 count box. The .458 Diameter 480 Grain DGX bullets are specifically designed to ensure proper expansion, at all velocities, upon contact with the target. The .458 Diameter 480 Grain DGX bullet is equipped with a high quality jacket to ensure superior accuracy. The .458 Diameter 480 Grain DGX bullet design produces ultra-flat trajectories with precisely controlled expansion.

Summary

The .458 Diameter 480 Grain DGX bullets are designed to have immediate and violent expansion upon contact with the target to ensure a clean kill. The expansion is not dependent upon high velocity either. The .458 Diameter 480 Grain DGX has an engineered jacket for exceptional accuracy at most intermediate ranges.

The DGX® Bonded (Dangerous Game™ eXpanding) bullet features a copper-clad steel jacket bonded to a lead core to provide limited, controlled expansion with deep penetration and high weight retention. Bonding the jacket to the core prevents separation from high-energy impact on tough material like bone, ensuring the bullet stays together for deep expansion. DGX® Bonded bullets are built to the same profile as the corresponding DGS® (Dangerous Game™ Solid) bullets but expand to 1½ to 2 times their bullet diameter.

THICKER JACKET

The thicker 0.098” copper-clad steel jacket of DGX® Bonded sets it apart from other dangerous game bullets, allowing it to tear through tough material like hide, muscle and bone.

CONTROLLED EXPANSION DGX®

Bonded features a flat nose with serrated sections to deliver a uniform expansion from 100 to 150 yards and straight penetration, reducing possible deflections.

BONDED JACKET AND CORE

The bonding process locks the jacket and lead core together, improving the retained weight of the expanded bullet.
