New from Hornady in 2025: The Backcountry Defense and .338 ARC

For those venturing deep into remote terrain, Hornady introduces the Backcountry Defense—a purpose-built solution for backcountry protection. At its core is the new DGH (Dangerous Game Handgun) bullet, engineered for outstanding accuracy and deep, straight-line penetration with minimal expansion. Available in a wide range of handgun calibers, from 9mm all the way up to .500 S&W, it’s designed to handle serious threats when every shot counts.

Also launching in 2025 is the .338 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge)—Hornady’s “Big Little Cartridge.” Don’t let the compact case fool you. This round packs a punch with a heavy 307-grain Sub-X bullet optimized for subsonic performance, delivering exceptional terminal effectiveness with low recoil and minimal noise. For those who prefer a faster option, there’s also a 175-grain supersonic hollow point variant. Together, they make the .338 ARC the ultimate subsonic cartridge for medium game hunting.
