Hornady 5051 .505 Caliber 525 Grain DGS Dangerous Game Solid Bullets, 50 Count

Hornady 5051 DGS bullets are designed for reloaders who need dependable penetration and weight retention for dangerous-game applications. Built with an aggressive flat-nose profile, these .505 caliber bullets deliver strong energy transfer on impact while helping resist deformation and deflection when passing through thick hide, dense muscle, and hard bone. Their solid construction is engineered to maintain integrity under demanding conditions.
The 525-grain projectile uses a very hard, high-antimony lead core enclosed by a copper-clad steel jacket. This combination supports the bullet’s ability to hold together and continue penetrating through challenging materials. The wide, flat nose provides a substantial impact surface, while the cannelure offers a practical feature for compatible reloading applications. With a .270 coefficient and .294 sectional density, the design balances a heavy projectile weight with the characteristics expected from a dangerous-game solid.
These Hornady reloading bullets are intended for .505 caliber cartridges and are supplied in a 50-count box. They are suitable for experienced reloaders developing ammunition for appropriate dangerous-game rifles and loads. Always consult current, reliable reloading data and follow the component, firearm, and loading-equipment manufacturer’s instructions before use. Hornady’s established component manufacturing standards make the 5051 DGS a purpose-built choice for hunters seeking a hard-hitting solid bullet for demanding field conditions.
