The DGX Bonded (Dangerous Game‚Ñ¢ eXpanding) bullet features a copper-clad steel jacket bonded to a lead core to provide limited, controlled expansion with deep penetration and high weight retention. Bonding the jacket to the core prevents separation from high-energy impact on tough material like bone, ensuring the bullet stays together for deep expansion.

DGX Bonded bullets are built to the same profile as the corresponding DGS (Dangerous Game‚Ñ¢ Solid) bullets but expand to 1¬Ω to 2 times their bullet diameter.
