All, I have a friend who has a nice old .475 NE double- needing reloading supplies for a Botswana Elephant hunt. 480g solids, .483 diameter. Thanks in advance!

Wim Degol in Belgium will make you a very strong round nosed tombac jacketed solid in 480Gr weight for the .475 Nitro Express.
 
Woodleigh isn’t making these at present and the US distributor is out of business. Nonetheless, as you prowl the web for old stock, these are the SKUs you’re seeking.

Thank you both! Good info to utilize, if no one on the site has a hidden old box they would part with. I know this is a needle in haystack search. Thx again.
 
This norwegian dealer has 0.483 FMJ Woodleighs.. Try to contact him and see if he will/can export tho the US..

I'm in the same boat Fenstar. Just bought a Lancaster double in .475 NE (not the #2 version). Bullets have proved impossible! If I manage to find some in my search I will let you know.
 
Contact CEB, I'm sure they can make something for you.

I would love to see some pics of your rifle....I have WW1 era double in the same calibre..

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
