.470 Nitro Express Ammo Prices

Perhaps the most beloved of all the classic dangerous-game double-rifle cartridges, built around 1907 and considered by many professional hunters the ideal balance of power and shootability for the largest African game. It fires a heavy bullet with authority the Cape buffalo respects and it became the gold standard for the double rifle. A genuine icon of the great safari era. Dangerous-game royalty.

Factory ammunition is expensive and largely a specialty affair from a few makers. This is deliberate big-bore territory. The double-rifle crowd buys whatever surfaces and treasures a good box.
