.470 N.E. Bullet Test By Bullet Safaris

[BULLET SAFARIS]

.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 possibly 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 the 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.

I enjoyed watching the video and your results. I've been a pretty loyal North Fork guy for years now, but have very little experience with the flat point solid and zero with the cupped point solid. I've read many reports of them from the field, but I look forward to hearing yours.

One question regarding the Hornday DGX. Since this video I believe is recently made, were the DGIX bullet you used, the newer bonded version or the older version which were not bonded? Your results sound very similar to what was reported for the non-bonded version. The new bonded DGX is supposed to be much better.
