Thank you that helps a lot. Aside from the brass. What do the 5 pack of the factory loads typically bring?

I also have a few from the fifties and sixties in stock, in more or less good condition. The ammunition was in Nairobi before I own it together with my DR.

I shot a few of them in excellent condition after I had contact with Holland & Holland. Sure, they advised against it, but admitted that they still had a few cartridges caliber 500/465 Nitro Express in stock and would shoot them at times. Everything would depend on storage of the ammunition.

As Big Game hunter you must have smelled also once Cordite early in the morning. It smell like any other NC powder, nothing special, in all cases better than BP in the morning.

I don't want to sell the cartridges.

Thanks for the response. I’m interested in selling my cartridges which have been stored properly. but am having a time pricing them. Especially the ones produced in the 90s by Kynamco.Do you have advise on a fair asking price?

5 cartridges of this caliber made in Germany cost around 250 euros years ago. Unfortunately, I don't know the current prices.

Your cartridges from the nineties are loaded with normal NC powder so that they can definitely be offered as older ammunition that is still usable. The price of $150 to $ 200 for 5 cartridges given by @Hunting Hitman therefore seems realistic to me.

However, if the cartridges only represent value for a collector, this price cannot be achieved. In Europe, the cartridges 577 Nitro Express for collectors are sold individually for around 20 euros.
