The Hornady DGH 9mm .355 138gr is a specialized, heavy-for-caliber projectile engineered for high-stakes backcountry defense and encounters with dangerous game. These Dangerous Game Handgun® (DGH®) bullets feature a unique protected-point design that locks the lead core to the jacket, ensuring maximum straight-line penetration while effectively resisting deflection when striking tough bone or thick muscle. Unlike traditional hard-cast lead bullets, the jacketed DGH construction produces no lead smoke or fouling, which keeps your sight picture clear for the rapid, accurate follow-up shots critical in life-threatening situations. This 138-grain projectile is designed to not expand or fragment like a standard hollow point, focusing instead on driving deep through barriers to deliver the terminal performance needed to stop large predators. Sold in boxes of 50, these bullets offer reloaders a reliable, high-momentum component for creating specialized Backcountry Defense™ loads for 9mm platforms.
