Hornady, Backcountry Defense, .357 Magnum, Dangerous Game, 165 Grain, 25 Rounds

The Hornady Back Country Defense Pistol Ammo in .357 Magnum with a 165 gr DGH (Dangerous Game Handgun) bullet is built for hunters and backcountry travelers who need reliable stopping power from a lightweight sidearm; this Back Country Defense series round offers deep penetration and engineered no-deflection performance that makes it ideal for close encounters with big game or for layered defensive scenarios when youre miles from help. With a brass casing and HazAir designation for safe transport, this load delivers consistent chambering and extraction in revolvers and lever actions chambered for .357 Magnum, while the 165 grain weight balances sectional density and energy transfer for controlled, straight-line penetration on heavy-boned targets. If you carry a compact revolver on a mountain hunt or keep a more substantial sidearm for bear country, the DGH profile in Hornadys Back Country Defense lineup gives credible terminal performance and predictable wound channels that matter when shot placement must count. This round is a solid choice for hunters, professional guides, and outdoorsmen who demand confidence from their pistol ammunition in challenging environments.
