The Hornady® Dangerous Game Handgun (DGH®) 10mm 200 Grain bullet is engineered for maximum penetration and straight-line performance in the most demanding backcountry scenarios. Designed as a heavy-for-caliber projectile, it delivers exceptional momentum and barrier performance from powerful 10mm platforms.

The protected point design mechanically locks the bullet nose to the core, resisting deformation and ensuring the projectile maintains its path through bone, hide, and dense tissue. This results in reliable straight-line penetration with minimal deflection—critical when dealing with large or dangerous animals.

Unlike traditional hard-cast bullets, the DGH uses a jacketed construction that eliminates airborne lead smoke, helping maintain a clear sight picture and enabling faster follow-up shots. This advantage becomes significant in high-stress encounters where visibility and speed matter.

With a 200 grain weight and strong sectional density, this bullet is optimized for cartridges like 10mm Auto, offering increased energy and deep penetration compared to lighter projectiles. It is purpose-built for situations where expansion is secondary to reliability and penetration.

Application Insight: The DGH in 10mm is a specialized tool for backcountry defense. Where traditional handgun bullets are designed to expand, this design is built to keep going—delivering the straight-line penetration needed for large, dangerous threats.
