Hornady Backcountry Defense 9mm +P 138gr Dangerous Game Handgun – 25 Rounds

Hornady Backcountry Defense 9mm +P uses a 138-grain Dangerous Game Handgun (DGH) bullet engineered for hard-cast penetration through heavy bone and muscle on predatory threats. The monolithic flat-nose design drives deep, creating a substantial permanent wound channel without relying on expansion. Loaded to +P pressures for higher energy transfer, this round is purpose-built for backcountry carry when encountering aggressive wildlife at close range.

This ammunition feeds reliably in standard 9mm pistols rated for +P loads. Brass cases with quality primers ensure consistent ignition. Available in 25-round boxes or 250-round cases. Verify your firearm is rated for +P ammunition before use — consult your owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if unsure.
