The Cutting Edge Bullets 570gr Safari Solid is a machined big bore projectile designed for the classic Nitro Express double rifles, and it arrives in a full 50 count box. This is a solid, non expanding hunting bullet cut from a single piece of material to deliver the straight tracking penetration that dangerous game demands. Double rifle owners know that regulation and consistency are everything, and a uniform solid like this one helps two barrels print where they should. Each projectile is machined to tight tolerances so your loads stay repeatable across the whole box. If you feed a big bore double, this is the kind of component you want in the magazine.
What the Cutting Edge Bullets 570gr Safari Solid is and who it is for
This is a .510 inch diameter, 570 grain Safari Solid built for the Nitro Express double rifles that have anchored dangerous game hunts for well over a century. It is made for hunters, professional guides, and handloaders who shoot .510 caliber Nitro Express cartridges and want a dependable solid. If you carry a double rifle into thick cover after buffalo or elephant, this projectile is designed to punch deep and stay on line. It is a serious hunting tool rather than a range plinker, and it rewards careful load work.
Key features of the Cutting Edge Bullets 570gr Safari Solid
Here is what makes this solid a standout on the bench and in the field:
- 570 grain Safari Solid weight tuned for Nitro Express performance
- .510 inch diameter to match standard .510 Nitro Express bores
- 3 plus 1 band configuration that reduces bearing surface and barrel strain
- 67 percent Meplat BBW number 13 nose profile proven for the deepest penetration tested
- One piece solid build that resists deformation through bone and muscle
- Generous 50 rounds per box for regulation work and hunting supply
Specifications woven into your load
Look at the numbers and the intent is obvious. A 570 grain solid at .510 inch carries heavy sectional density, which is exactly what a Nitro Express needs to drive through the vitals of the biggest game. The 3 plus 1 band design lifts less bearing surface onto the rifling, easing pressure and barrel strain while keeping the bullet stable in flight. The broad 67 percent meplat cuts a wide, full caliber wound channel and shrugs off deflection when it meets heavy bone. With 50 projectiles per box, you have plenty to regulate a double, confirm zero, and still keep a field supply.
Practical use, care, and compatibility
Develop these loads with published Nitro Express data for a 570 grain solid, working up slowly from a safe starting charge. Keep the box in a cool, dry spot so the projectiles stay clean until you seat and crimp them. As a component bullet and not loaded ammunition, it slots neatly into any big bore reloading routine you already run.

Cutting Edge Bullets earned its name on tight tolerance machined solids, and this Nitro Express offering carries that standard forward.
Regulating a double rifle with quality solids
Double rifles are a world unto themselves, and getting both barrels to print together is the handloader central challenge. Regulation depends on consistent velocity and bullet weight, which is why a uniform machined solid is such an asset when you are chasing a load that brings the two barrels into agreement. Small changes in charge and bullet can shift the point of impact of each barrel, so having projectiles that stay identical from box to box keeps your development honest. With a stack of consistent solids on the bench, you can focus on the powder charge instead of fighting your components.
Owning a Nitro Express double is a commitment, and feeding it well is part of the pleasure. Building your own ammunition lets you tailor every round to the rifle rather than settling for whatever scarce factory load you can find. That control matters most on a hunt where a follow up shot has to land exactly where the first one did. A trusted solid, worked up carefully, is the heart of that reliability.
For the double rifle hunter who loads his own, the Cutting Edge Bullets 570gr Safari Solid brings deep, straight, dependable penetration to the Nitro Express. Order your 50 count box today and build loads you can trust in the field. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
