Description
You’re not tracking whitetail. You’re on a trail where the brush explodes, where the charge is measured in tons and the margin for error is zero. When your guide is backing you up and the only thing between you and a ton of angry Cape buffalo is your skill and your .375 H&H Magnum, you need ammunition that performs with absolute, bone-crushing reliability. That’s the scenario this ammunition is built for.
The Hornady Dangerous Game 375 Holland & Holland Magnum 300gr Dangerous Game 20rd Box is a premium, factory-loaded cartridge engineered for maximum terminal performance on the world’s largest and most dangerous game. It utilizes a heavy 300-grain DGX (Dangerous Game eXpanding) bullet designed for deep penetration and controlled expansion through thick hide and heavy bone, packaged in a 20-round box for serious preparation.
This isn’t range ammo. Hornady’s Dangerous Game line is built with one purpose: to stop a threat that is actively trying to kill you. The 300-grain DGX bullet features a thick, tapered jacket and a bonded core—that means the lead core and copper jacket are molecularly fused. Why does that matter? It prevents separation upon impact, ensuring the bullet retains virtually all its original weight to drive deep into vital organs, even after smashing through shoulder bone. The bullet’s InterLock ring mechanically locks the core to the jacket, a redundant system for the most critical shots you’ll ever take.
Reliability is non-negotiable. The brass cases are meticulously inspected and the primers are sealed for absolute moisture resistance, because a misfire in the Okavango Delta isn’t an inconvenience—it’s a catastrophe. The consistent propellant charge delivers the authoritative ballistics the .375 H&H Magnum is famous for, providing the flat trajectory and downrange energy needed for ethical shots on large, dangerous animals at varying distances. At $97.00 for a box of 20, you’re investing in insurance where failure is not an option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this ammunition suitable for elk or moose hunting?
A: While it would certainly be effective, it is specialized overkill. The bullet is designed for deeper penetration on more dangerous animals. For elk or moose, Hornady’s Precision Hunter or InterBond lines in .375 H&H would be more cost-effective and appropriate choices.
Q: Can I use this in a .375 Ruger firearm?
A: No. The .375 Holland & Holland Magnum and the .375 Ruger are different cartridges with different dimensions and pressures. They are not interchangeable. Only use this ammunition in firearms explicitly chambered for .375 H&H Magnum.
Q: How does the DGX differ from a full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet?
A: An FMJ is designed for minimal expansion, often used where penetration is the sole goal. The DGX is a controlled expansion bullet. It’s engineered to expand reliably to a larger diameter while retaining nearly all its weight, creating a larger wound channel for quicker incapacitation—a critical difference when stopping a charge.
