357 MAGNUM HORNADY BACKCOUNTRY DEFENSE 165 GRAIN DGH (25 ROUNDS)

There are way, way too many horrible ways to die. One of them – getting mauled by a bear or other wild animal – is totally preventable. Simply exercise extreme caution while you are traversing the wilderness, and carry a revolver loaded with Hornady Backcountry Defense 357 Magnum ammunition.

Most self-defense cartridges are loaded with hollow point bullets, which are designed to fan out upon striking flesh. This round’s 165 grain Dangerous Game Handgun bullet is exceptional. The jacketed protected point projectile is specifically engineered not to expand, thus enhancing its likelihood of burrowing straight to the animal’s boiler room. And because its base is fully jacketed, the DGH cannot produce lead smoke that might obscure the target while you’re trying to pepper it with fast follow-up shots.

We bill this as “self-defense” ammo, which it most certainly is. Just take caution that it’s not intended for defense against that most dangerous animal of all – man. Its inability to expand makes the DGH almost certain to pass clean through a human, which could pose a serious risk to any innocent humans positioned behind the threat.
