Hornady Backcountry Defense 9mm Luger +P 138 Grain DGH JHP 25 Rounds

Hornady Backcountry Defense is a 9mm Luger +P cartridge loaded with a 138-grain DGH (Dangerous Game Handgun) jacketed hollow point bullet, intended for use in backcountry settings where a handgun serves as a secondary defensive tool. The bullet features a protected point that locks the nose to the core, which is designed to provide straight-line penetration and limit deflection. The bullet is not designed to expand and is intended to retain its shape to reach vital areas.

The jacketed construction produces no lead smoke, which the manufacturer notes can help with sight picture for faster follow-up shots. The load is rated at a muzzle velocity of 1185 feet per second. Cases are brass, boxer-primed, and reloadable. Each box contains 25 rounds, and each case contains 10 boxes.
