The .475 No. 2 Nitro Express is a British rifle cartridge. One of several rounds (including the .470, .475, and .476 Nitro Express) designed and introduced between 1905 and 1910, after the British Army banned the .450, in India and the Sudan, all with comparable performance, the .475 No. 2 was used in a number of double rifles. In addition, Jeffery chambered a slightly less powerful loading in his rifles. The standard factory load used a 480 gr (31.1 g) slug over 85 gr (5.51 g) of cordite, while Jeffery used a 500 gr (32.4 g) bullet which dropped 0.6 in (15 mm) more at 200 yd (180 m).

abstract
  • The .475 No. 2 Nitro Express is a British rifle cartridge. One of several rounds (including the .470, .475, and .476 Nitro Express) designed and introduced between 1905 and 1910, after the British Army banned the .450, in India and the Sudan, all with comparable performance, the .475 No. 2 was used in a number of double rifles. In addition, Jeffery chambered a slightly less powerful loading in his rifles. A good general purpose round, it is suitable for all big game, though somewhat overpowered for anything in North America. Its power is almost identical to the .458 Winchester Magnum, with a larger diameter bullet; whether this is an advantage remains in dispute. The standard factory load used a 480 gr (31.1 g) slug over 85 gr (5.51 g) of cordite, while Jeffery used a 500 gr (32.4 g) bullet which dropped 0.6 in (15 mm) more at 200 yd (180 m).
