Do you know what “Brobdingnagian” means? It means “gigantic” (“Brobdingnag” being the name of the land of giants in the novel Gulliver’s Travels).

Why the sudden vocabulary lesson? Because we can think of no word better than “Brobdingnagian” to describe this Hornady Backcountry Defense 500 S&W Magnum cartridge!

This round’s 500 grain (~1-1/8 oz) bullet is indeed a behemoth, and can easily hit its target around six times harder than a standard middleweight 9mm. But that’s not the only reason why the Dangerous Game Handgun bullet is so dangerous to dangerous game.

If you square off against a surly grizz, you don’t want your bullets to expand after impact. Expansion can easily anchor the bullet within a slab of dense bear muscle, where it will fail to do this: kill the bear.

This round’s bullet, on the other hand, has a protected point that locks its thick copper jacket’s nose to its core. The DGH’s design delivers what Hornady calls “straightline penetration,” which helps deliver it directly to a bear torso’s inner sanctum. It has the added benefit of eliminating lead smoke during takeoff.

Are you going to spend your whole life getting pushed around by agitated dangerous wildlife? Pooh-pooh to that, I say. Order Hornady Backcountry Defense from LuckyGunner.com instead!
