Cutting Edge Bullets .474 500gr Safari Solid – Nitro Express – 20 ct box

Cutting Edge Bullets 500gr Safari Solid projectiles in .474 diameter are machined specifically for the Nitro Express double rifles, delivered in a 20 count box. This 500 grain solid is built around the great British Nitro Express cartridges, giving the double rifle owner a modern, precision made option for a storied class of dangerous game guns. If you shoot a Nitro Express double and want a deep driving solid, these Cutting Edge Bullets 500gr are made for it. This is a bullet only, not loaded ammunition, sized for a class of rifle that rewards exacting component choices. The great Nitro Express doubles represent the pinnacle of dangerous game craftsmanship, and loading for them is a craft in itself. A correctly sized, precisely machined solid is exactly the kind of component that respects that tradition. Regulating two barrels to a single point of aim is demanding work, and it starts with consistent, purpose built bullets. Give a fine double the components it deserves and it will reward you with the accuracy its makers intended.

What these Cutting Edge Bullets 500gr are and who they are for

This Safari Solid is a non expanding bullet designed for maximum penetration, sized at .474 diameter for the Nitro Express double rifles rather than a bolt action bore. The design incorporates a 3 plus 1 band configuration for reduced barrel strain, and it carries the 67 percent Meplat BBW#13 nose profile that has proven to give the deepest penetration of any bullet tested to date. That flat meplat and the heavy 500 grain weight are a natural match for the traditional Nitro Express doubles.

These bullets are for the double rifle owner and the Nitro Express handloader who needs a solid tailored to this specific class of cartridge. Regulating a double is exacting work, and a precision made bullet at the right .474 diameter is a real asset. For rifles that were often built to shoot a particular load, a consistent, correctly sized solid is exactly what you want on the bench.

Specifications woven into your load

The 500 grain weight in the .474 diameter is right at home in the Nitro Express doubles, giving these Cutting Edge Bullets 500gr the sectional density and momentum that these cartridges are built around. The banded body reduces bearing surface and barrel strain, and the BBW#13 meplat keeps the wound channel straight and deep on the largest dangerous game. A 20 count box suits a specialty double rifle load, letting you develop and stock without overbuying.

Because these are made specifically for the Nitro Express doubles at .474 diameter, they respect the exacting nature of a regulated double gun. Matching bullet weight and profile to what your rifle was built around is the surest path to keeping both barrels printing together.

Practical use, care, and compatibility

Work up your load from current data for your specific Nitro Express cartridge, and because a double rifle is regulated to a particular load, pay close attention to bullet weight and velocity as you develop. Verify feeding and seating with a careful approach, and test on the range to confirm your barrels stay regulated. Keeping the two barrels shooting to the same point of aim is the whole art of loading for a double.

Store the box dry and boxed to protect the machined nose. Add brass, primers, and storage from the rest of our reloading components and gear to complete your order. Bullets from Cutting Edge Bullets are a component and not a firearm.
