  • Based on the old black-powder .500/450, the .500/450 Magnum Nitro Express was introduced by Holland & Holland for their single shot and double rifles during the late 1890s. It fires a -inch ( mm) -grain ( g) projectile at over feet per second ( m/s) to generate in excess of foot-pounds force ( kJ) of muzzle energy.
  • Ballistic performance of the .500/450 NE is very similar to the .450 Nitro Express cartridge. Like other .458 caliber British hunting cartridges, it has low pressure making it a good choice for any hot climate.
