Reloading Nitro Express Cartridges
« on: January 21, 2007, 02:32:33 AM »
Hey guys anyone in here have any experience reloading any of the nitro express cartridges?  The cartridge that I am  interested in is the 470 nitro express. :)

Let me take that 470 for a year or two, and I'll give you all kinds of load data, I'd probably have a hard time giving the rifle back though! I've always wanted one.  Good luck.

You need to do some reading at http://www.(censored word)/ where I am sure you can do a search for that cartridge and get some valueable info or even sign up for a free membership and ask the guys there that reload the "big bores" what they recommend.  Well I'll be dammed, the censor won't let me give you a web address.  I'll e-mail it to you.
