Building ammunition for dangerous game hunting demands bullets engineered to perform where conventional designs fail—and the Hornady DGS Dangerous Game 9.3mm 300 grain flat nose solid bullets are purpose-built for exactly that challenge. These solid copper-clad steel rounds are designed around a flat-nosed profile with meplat diameters engineered to resist deformation and drive straight through the heaviest hide, muscle, and bone without deflection or fragmentation. If you're handloading for African big game, dangerous game follow-ups, or any hunting scenario where deep, reliable penetration is non-negotiable, this is the tool that delivers.
The flat nose geometry isn't just about ballistics—it's a proven design concept that keeps the bullet tracking true through extreme resistance. Hornady pairs a heavy copper-clad steel jacket with a high-antimony lead core, the combination that separates a dangerous game bullet from everything else on the shelf. The core and jacket stay bonded through the toughest conditions, and the flat meplat maintains its integrity even when it meets bone at velocity. Each round maintains the same profile across Hornady's DGS lineup, so you get uniformity whether you're loading solids or softer expanding variants through the same rifle—critical when your second shot needs to count as much as your first.
These are serious reloading components for serious hunters. A box of 50 gives you what you need to craft loads tailored to your rifle's twist rate, barrel length, and zero. Whether you're preparing for a plains game expedition, stocking up for controlled hunting of problem animals, or building a deep-penetration load for your dangerous game rifle, Hornady DGS solids offer the penetration profile and construction quality that define the standard.
| Caliber | 9.3mm |
| Weight | 300 grains |
| Bullet Style | Flat Nose Solid |
| Quantity per Box | 50 |
| Jacket Material | Copper-clad steel |
| Core Material | High-antimony lead |
A solid bullet is engineered to penetrate without expanding, maintaining a small frontal diameter to cut through maximum bone, muscle, and hide. The DGS solids are built for hunters pursuing large, dangerous game species where deep, straight-line penetration and the ability to break through heavy bone structure are essential. They're also favored for follow-up shots when hunting dangerous game that requires reliable performance in worst-case scenarios.
Yes. Hornady designed the DGS lineup with uniform profiles across bullet types, so solids and expanding variants share the same external dimensions. This allows you to work up a single load configuration and switch bullet styles while maintaining the same point of aim and rifle handling—a real advantage when you need the versatility of both bullet types.
The flat meplat (nose) is designed to resist deformation on impact and maintain its trajectory through dense material. Combined with the solid construction, this profile keeps the bullet tracking straight and deep, without the deflection or fragmentation that can occur with softer designs. It's the geometry that separates a dangerous game bullet from general-purpose ammunition.
These are bullets only—reloading components. You'll need to handload them with powder, primers, and brass to create finished ammunition. Hornady DGS solids are sold by the box of 50 bullets.
