2014年1月7日 · Depending on the strength of the individual rifle, the .450-400 can easily be loaded up to exceed 2200fps. Its a huge case meant like many of the old NE cases to operate in the tropics at safe pressures with good ballistics.

2016年5月6日 · However, cartridges for the .470 Nitro are usually much more common in gun stores within Africa (and sometimes in the USA as well) than for the .500, and pretty much any of the flanged nitro calibers for doubles. That being said, the .470 and .500 are too much recoil for me, if I am to train with my rifle often while firing many shots.

2021年10月3日 · The .450-400 NE was introduced by Jeffery in 1902, and quickly became the standard all-around African cartridge, only to be supplanted by the .375 H&H in 1912. Another issue that worked against the otherwise-excellent .450 Nitro is that the British banned it in India and the Sudan IIRC in 1905, to prevent uppity locals from reusing bullets from ...

2015年3月25日 · Ruger No. 1-H .450/.400 Nitro Express 3” (Model 11385). This is the rare version with the heavyweight 24 inch “D” contour barrel. It weighs 9.32 pounds without scope or rings. It was shot prior to my purchase but I never fired it. It has one nick in the checkering on the right side of the fore end, but it is otherwise in like new condition.

2016年5月3日 · However, there is also the 450/400 NE 3 1/4" which is comparable in performance to the 450/400 3" (though the two cartridges are not interchangeable). Sometimes you see the 450/400 3" referred to as the .400 Jeffery Nitro Express to avoid this confusion.

2015年6月9日 · From: Reloading the Nitro Express, R. Seyfreid, Handloader #202, December 1999 "Unlike the earlier black-powder rifles, most nitro rifles will have the service load stamped on the barrel flats as part of the proof marks. This usually specifies a …

2016年5月12日 · Hi express, My .375 is actually a Winchester model 70. I wish I could get a double but that would further prolong my African trip. If I were going to get a double, it would definitely be something in the .450-.470 range. Thanks for the thought though. My LGS has a no. 1 in .450/400 right now that I was considering.
