The 470 Nitro Express is a rifle cartridge designed in England by Joseph Lang for hunting hazardous animals in Africa and India. Lang's created it as a substitute for the.450 Nitro Express when the.450 NE was prohibited in a number of countries, including India. After the.450 Nitro Express was outlawed in various countries, including India, Lang's produced the as a substitute. The 470 Nitro Express remains the most popular of all the Nitro Express cartridges, with both ammo and parts widely accessible.
The ballistics of the 470 Nitro Express are quite similar to those of the other Nitro Express cartridges, which were meant to duplicate the old.450 NE formula, which is a 480 or 500-grain bullet travelling at 2,050 to 2,200 fps. The.470 Nitro Express, like many of its cousins with comparable power ratings, has a significant amount of recoil. In contrast to the harsh slap of the hyper-velocity magnums, the recoil is a traditional 'push.'
Without giving it too much thought, this is an excellent big game cartridge, and given the enormous number of firearms chambered in.470 NE, ammo is seldom a problem to find. The 470 Nitro Express is a monster in terms of performance, and a genuine big game backup. Some may be surprised to learn that, despite being a large 500-grain projectile, a zero at 50 yards will only drop the bullet half an inch at 100 yards, which is likely the maximum range for which you will ever need to utilize such a calibre. It comes with a choice of loaded rounds, so bullet performance is not an issue.
416 Barrett Ammo
The 416 Barret came along in 2007. It was developed by Chris Barret and based on a 50 BMG case. This case was shorted and necked down to accept a .416 inch bullet. Chris designed it for extreme range shooting and areas where 50 BMG rifles are not allowed. The 416 Barret was first chambered into the Model 82A1 and used a 395-grain bullet producing a muzzle velocity of 3300 fps and over 9500 foot-pounds energy.
The 416 Barret is fun to shoot and meets the expectations of long-range shooting. It continues to gain in energy and offers a flattened trajectory. It also has an impressive ability to slip the wind. For extreme range shooting, the .416 Barret offers excellent performance from over 2000 yards away are more.
The .416 Barret Ammo is also chambered into the Model 99, which is a simple rifle. The 416 Barret Ammo’s ability to stay supersonic beyond 2150 yards makes it accurate when you shoot using this rifle. It also maximizes your chances of making the best shot of the century. For long-range targets, the .416 Barret Ammo can shoot a 395-grain bullet at 3025 fps. Using a 450-grain bullet also allows you to hit large-sized games at about 3000 fps muzzle velocity.
The .416 Barret Ammo is versatile because you can use it for medium-sized games and large-sized games. With varying projectiles to explore, you can choose to hunt varmint and predators. In addition, you can use it in hunting woodchucks, foxes, deer, elk, and many more. Although it works excellently in close ranges, the .416 Barret Ammo is more suited to long-range shooting.
