Hornady 500 Cal 570gr DGS

The Hornady 500 Cal 570gr DGS is a purpose-built bullet component for serious dangerous-game hunters and handloaders demanding extreme penetration, structural integrity, and consistent terminal effect in the .500-caliber class. Weighing 570 gr with a .510-inch diameter, the 500 Cal 570gr DGS features Hornady’s monolithic-cup design—melding a copper-flashed steel jacket to a solid core—ensuring deep wound paths and maximum retention.

With a flat-nose configuration, the 500 Cal 570gr DGS offers reliable energy transfer and reduced deflection in dense brush or bone. Its construction supports straight-line penetration through heavy tissue and bone. When fired from platforms like the .500 Nitro Express or modern dangerous-game rifles, the 500 Cal 570gr DGS delivers consistent on-target results under high-stress conditions.

Each 500 Cal 570gr DGS bullet is engineered with optimized ogive and bearing surface geometry, ensuring predictable flight and consistent seating—even in large-caliber heavy-recoil platforms. Its monolithic DGS design eliminates core-jacket separation, maintaining structural integrity and path straightness for maximum stopping power.

Compatible with slow to medium twist barrels (e.g., 1:18 to 1:20), the 500 Cal 570gr DGS stabilizes reliably in bolt-action, double rifles, and single-shot dangerous-game rifles. Hunters value its repeatable accuracy, dependable feeding, and ethical terminal performance when targeting thick-skinned game such as elephant, Cape buffalo, and grizzly.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 500 Cal 570gr DGS is sold as a bullet component and requires reloading with proper brass, powder, and primers. With strict production controls on jacket thickness, weight consistency, and monolithic construction, the 500 Cal 570gr DGS remains a trusted solution for the most demanding safari and dangerous-game scenarios.
