.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

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
