Hornady Ammo 44 Rem Mag 240 GR DGH 90868

The Hornady .44 Remington Magnum 240 GR DGH is built for shooters who demand maximum penetration, dependable expansion, and fast follow-up capability from a heavy-for-caliber load. Engineered around Hornady’s Dangerous Game Handgun (DGH) design, this cartridge combines a protected point construction with a jacketed hollow point profile to deliver straight-line penetration while minimizing deflection—exactly the kind of performance you want from a backcountry sidearm or a hard-hitting defensive load.

What sets the DGH apart is its protected point. That feature locks the bullet nose to the core, preserving integrity on impact and driving energy deep into the target for reliable penetration. Unlike hard-cast bullets that can produce lead vapor and obscure follow-up shots, the jacketed DGH produces no lead smoke, so you keep sight picture and can make rapid, accurate follow-up shots when the situation demands it. For hunters and defenders who need weight and energy on target, the 240-grain DGH delivers a heavy, purposeful punch with increased downrange energy and dependable terminal performance.

Hornady loads the 240 GR DGH to practical velocities that translate to serious muzzle energy—designed to perform from modern revolvers and lever-action handguns that chamber .44 Rem Mag. Each round is assembled with premium components: brass cases, boxer primers, and carefully matched powders for consistent pressures and dependable ignition. The design also favors feeding and function for semi-autos and wheel guns alike, while being reloadable for shooters who prefer to tailor their loads.

If you’re carrying for protection in remote country, packing a backcountry sidearm where stopping power is non-negotiable, or simply want a heavy-for-caliber load that performs predictably, the Hornady .44 Rem Mag 240 GR DGH makes a compelling choice. It’s built to drive straight, expand where it should, and leave you in control of follow-up shots — exactly what you need when stakes are high.
