Hornady Backcountry Defense handgun ammunition is engineered for protection in wilderness environments where encounters with large or dangerous animals may occur. This .357 Magnum load uses a 165 grain DGH (Dangerous Game Handgun) bullet, designed to provide deep straight-line penetration through heavy bone and dense tissue.
The DGH bullet features a protected-point design combined with a heavy jacket structure intended to maintain bullet integrity during impact. This construction helps the projectile remain intact while driving through thick hide, heavy bone, and dense muscle encountered when defending against large animals.
Backcountry Defense ammunition is manufactured with Hornady components and quality standards to provide reliable function and consistent ballistic performance in powerful handgun cartridges used for wilderness defense applications.
