Ecco il mio Express WJ Jeffery in calibro .475 No.2 NE, .488 per proiettili da 500 grani.

Beautiful rifle. But from the stamps, is this not a black powder rifle, instead of a nitro express?

No, the flats state cordite and the .475 bores were never made as black powder rounds anyway.

 

[grand veneur]

Never, this cartridge was developed too late to be a BP cartridge.

I recently acquired a double rifle in 475 number 2 jefferies and cannot find ammo for it. Have been to Namibia twice and want to go next year again and use my new double rifle if I can find some ammo for it. Any thoughts on where to acquire rounds for it such as hollow points and solids? I have tried several places but to no avail.

You won't find loaded ammo for the 475 #2. Only choice is to start looking for brass and a set of dies to roll your own. If you get real lucky, one of the custom loaders might have brass they could make you ammo with. Good luck!
