.470 Nitro Express is a rifle cartridge developed by Joseph Lang in England for dangerous game hunting in Africa and India. This cartridge is used almost exclusively in double rifles. It is in full use in the Southern and Central-East African region, favored by hunting guides, primarily while out hunting Cape buffalo and elephant.
The ballistic data for the .470 Nitro Express on performance for muzzle velocity based off one-grain type is 2,150 ft/s (500 gr). The cost of factory loads is expensive compared to other caliber bullets, but the cartridge is popular among guides in Africa as a self-defense round against dangerous game.
