Description
The Hornady 458 Lott 500gr DGS load is built for shooters who want more from their .458 Lott than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 500 grain Dangerous Game Solid to a rated 2300 feet per second, producing about 5875 foot-pounds of energy. The Hornady DGS (Dangerous Game Solid) uses a steel-reinforced jacket and a flat nose to drive deep, straight-line penetration through heavy muscle and bone without deforming. It is built for the largest and toughest animals, where a bullet must reach the vitals from any angle.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Hornady builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Hornady 458 Lott 500gr DGS until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
About the .458 Lott
Developed by Jack Lott as an improvement on the .458 Winchester Magnum, the .458 Lott uses a slightly longer case to carry more powder and push heavy 500-grain bullets faster. It is a true dangerous-game cartridge for Cape buffalo, elephant, and hippo, and many .458 Lott rifles will also chamber .458 Win Mag as a backup round.
