.475 No2

Other than the .475 No2 being a fantastic looking round, what do ya'll think about it in general ?

Great cartridge, would make sure that ammo is available that it's regulated for.

I've just read that some of the old hunter's would chose the 470 over the 475's. So it would probly be a reloading situation ?

The .475 No. 2 Nitro Express is a British rifle cartridge.

One of several rounds (including the .470, .475, and .476 Nitro Express)[1] designed and introduced between 1905 and 1910,[2] after the British Army banned the .450, in India and the Sudan,[3] all with comparable performance,[4] the .475 No. 2 was used in a number of double rifles. In addition, Jeffery chambered a slightly less powerful loading in his rifles.

A good general purpose round, it is suitable for all big game,[3] though somewhat overpowered for anything in North America.[3] Its power is almost identical to the .458 Winchester Magnum,[3] with a larger diameter bullet; whether this is an advantage remains in dispute.[5]

The standard factory load used 85 gr (5.51 g) of cordite over a 480 gr (31.1 g) slug, while Jeffery used a 480 gr (32.4 g) bullet which dropped 0.6 in (15 mm) more at 200 yd (180 m).[3]

I'm thinking, I'd rather have 458 Win, ammo is cheap and availability is very good.

Considering that we live in the times we do I'm inclined to agree with you .
