.470 N.E. or the .470 Nitro or African Double Rifle or Elephant Gun ... anyway you state it is a big bore rifle that represents one of the largest calibers made for hunting - hunting anything on earth and possible other planets.

Big bullets of 500 grains flying around 2,200 fps and with the capability to take down a T-Rex.

With a variety of projectiles available. What bullet is best? What bullet is best for your needs? We test the leading ammunition available for the .470 nitro express rifle and recover the projectiles. Expert analysis and commentary by Slick Willy C. (largest leopard taken in Rungwa Tanzania), Mark 90# Whitley (largest elephant bull taken in Botswana 2024) and Professional Hunter Nathan Askew (23 years of dangerous game hunting experience at time of filming).

If you can't tell by the intro we had a lot of fun planning and making this video!

We tested:
North Fork cupped solid / monolithic solid / and SS expanding bullet

Barnes Banded monolithic solid

Hornady solid

Noler monolithic solid

We recovered all the projectiles.

Enjoy! @bulletsafaris www.bulletsafaris.com

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
