In Stock .375 Flanged Nitro Ammo From Top Ammo Vendors
The .375 Nitro Express 2½ inch Velopex was a nitrocellulose (smokeless) powder cartridge introduced in 1899.
A hunting cartridge produced for single-shot and double rifles, the .375 Flanged NE is a slightly longer version of the .303 British necked out to .375 caliber.
The .375 Flanged Nitro Express should not be confused with the .375 Flanged Magnum, a much longer and more powerful all-round African hunting cartridge.
The .375 Flanged NE is not considered suitable for hunting dangerous game but is regarded as an excellent low-velocity medium bore cartridge for woods and plains game with superior performance to the .45-70
