.470 nitro express by Hornady scarce?

[jimmywallstreet]

I have been trying to locate some Hornady dangerous game rounds in .470 nitro express in the US for 2 months without success. have I been living under a rock?

ammoseek.com has a bunch, gunbroker had some last week.

Thanks! I’ll check again but did not see any Hornady on either site.

They don't have Hornady. Barnes and only Nosler Solids.
I called Hornady and they have no schedule plans for making runs on 470NE 500gr DGS or DGX

 

[jimmywallstreet]

That is good intel to know. Thanks for the update.

I called them Hornady yesterday. I am in need of 470NE 500gr Soft Nose. Anyone who has some for sale like 2 boxes I would be in your debt.
Thanks

Hendershots Custom ammunition lists the 500Gr Swift A Frame soft nosed bullet as a possible loading option in the .470 Nitro Express cartridge. Hopefully, they have some in stock to load up for you. All the best.

I doubt Hornady ammunition for the .470 Nitro Express will be available anywhere for the foreseeable future (although I certainly hope I’m wrong).
