The Hornady Dangerous Game Series (8585) is a non-expanding solid 458 Win Mag load topped with a 500 grain DGS bullet, purpose-built for hunters pursuing the world's largest and most dangerous thick-skinned game where absolute penetration and maximum stopping power are the only acceptable standard.

Special Features

• DGS Dangerous Game Solid construction uses a non-expanding, full-diameter solid bullet engineered to drive straight through the thickest hides, densest muscle, and hardest bone without deforming, deflecting, or losing momentum
• A sectional density of .341 is among the highest achievable in any hunting cartridge, translating directly into exceptional straight-line penetration on the heaviest and most resilient animals on earth
• Superformance propellant technology pushes the 500 grain solid to 2140 fps, delivering meaningful velocity improvement over traditional 458 Win Mag loads without exceeding safe pressure limits in standard-length bolt-action rifles
• Powder charges are carefully selected and matched to regulate in double rifles, ensuring both barrels shoot to the same point of aim, a critical requirement when a follow-up shot on a charging animal may need to land in under a second
• Brass cases and premium primers are held to strict dimensional and consistency standards, keeping velocity spreads tight for dependable performance in high-pressure field situations

Practical Benefits

• The DGS non-expanding solid is the standard choice for follow-up shots on dangerous game after an initial expanding round, built to drive through a partially quartered animal or reach the brain and spine on a frontal or rear approach where expansion is not the priority
• With 5084 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load delivers the raw momentum required to anchor and stop the largest and most dangerous animals on earth, including Cape buffalo, hippo, elephant, and rhino
• The 458 Win Mag is one of the most widely chambered dangerous game cartridges in bolt-action rifles worldwide, making this load a practical and accessible choice for hunters who do not run a classic double rifle
• Brass cases support reloading, making this a sound long-term investment for serious dangerous game hunters and outfitters who want to recycle quality brass after a hunt
• Available in 20-round boxes with a 6-box case option, the Hornady Dangerous Game Series (8585) in 458 Win Mag is well suited for outfitters, professional hunters, and safari operations that need a reliable and consistent supply of heavy dangerous game ammunition

The Hornady Dangerous Game Series (8585) in 458 Win Mag is a reliable pick for professional hunters, safari outfitters, and experienced big game hunters who need a proven non-expanding solid load that delivers straight-line penetration and maximum stopping power on the world's most dangerous and hard-to-stop game animals.
