Hornady 10mm 200gr DGH Backcountry – Proven 10mm Auto Backcountry Defense Ammo, 1160 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The Hornady 10mm 200gr DGH Backcountry load is built for shooters who want more from their 10mm Auto than typical factory ammunition delivers. Hornady loads a 200 grain DGH Dangerous Game Handgun bullet to a rated 1160 feet per second, producing about 598 foot-pounds of energy. Hornady Backcountry Defense ammunition is built for protection against large, dangerous animals in the field. The DGH bullet uses a tough construction that favors deep, straight-line penetration over rapid expansion, which is what matters when a bear or other large predator is the threat.

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 10mm 200gr DGH Backcountry until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

The 10mm Auto was developed in the 1980s and briefly adopted by the FBI before the shorter .40 S&W took its place, but it has since become a favorite of hunters and backcountry hikers. Its extra case capacity lets it drive bullets faster than most other semi-automatic pistol rounds, and regular practice with a full-power load is the best way to master its recoil.
