.474 DGS/DGX 500grs
Hornady had some of their new .474 bullets

the DGX and DGS are both steel jacketed bullets, direct from Hornady, and no misprints

I am going to do some load dev on my 470 AR

Hornady designed their DGS/DGX to be the same length and hope that the same load will hit the same POI and use the same charge

Jeff,
Are you saying they had some available to purchase at the show? If so, I hope my friend got me some. I wasn't able to go, but had a buddy there. Did they say when we could find them at Midway, etc...?
Thanks, ND

Looks like Graf's will stock them eventually. They show the softs to be $9 a box cheaper than Woodleighs but the solids $35 a box cheaper than Woodleighs. Could be a good deal!

Sounds like the price is right!!!
Can we shoot these in our double rifles with the steel jacket? This may have already been discussed and I missed it???

They are both listed as available in the newest Cabela's catelog. Also 470 Nitro Hornady brass, 20 for $62.99. Loaded Hornady DGS and DGX 470 ammo 20 for $114.99. Federal 470 with either TBSH or TB for $379.99 per 20. Looks like a great deal from Hornady.
