Hornady 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded

The Hornady 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded is a heavyweight bullet component engineered for handloaders and dangerous-game hunters needing deep penetration, controlled expansion, and terminal reliability in .50-caliber platforms. Weighing 570 gr with a .510-inch diameter, the 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded features Hornady’s DGX (Dangerous-Game eXpanding) bonded-core design, ensuring consistent performance and over 90% weight retention when striking heavy game.

Hornady’s 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded employs a long boattail and polymer tip that together optimize ballistic coefficient and stabilize flight. With a G1 BC near 0.275, the bullet retains energy at long range and features predictable downrange behavior. When loaded in cartridges like .50 BMG or .510 Whisper, the 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded delivers precise shot placement with flat trajectory and consistent impact energy.

Internally, the 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded utilizes a molecularly bonded lead core and swirl-fluted jacket to reduce friction, promote stable flight, and prevent core separation upon impact. This bonding ensures the 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded maintains structural integrity and penetrates deeply—ideal for thick-skinned dangerous-game such as Cape buffalo, moose, and large bear.

Handloaders appreciate the 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded for its consistent weight retention, smooth feeding, and reliable ballistics. Its boattail profile and balanced design allow repeatable grouping and dependable trajectory across shot strings. When paired with quality brass, powder, and primers, the 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded delivers the on-target performance needed for ethical hunting.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded is sold as a bullet component only and must be used with compatible components. With rigorous quality control over bonding, tip alignment, and jacket concentricity, the Hornady 50 Cal 570gr DGX-Bonded stands as a premier bullet choice for those demanding serious performance in large-caliber, dangerous-game scenarios.
