The 500/416 Nitro Express is a modern rimmed double rifle calibre based on the 500 Nitro Express cartridge case necked down to .416″ calibre. It was developed by Kriegoff in the mid 1990’s and is designed for hunting large and dangerous game animals in Africa and India. This cartridge pushes a 410-grain bullet at 2,325 fps, for just under 5,000 ft.-lbs. of energy at the muzzle.

The 500/416 Nitro Express has a 500 Nitro Express case with a nice, long neck for good bullet tension, a good taper for easy feeding under duress, and enough case capacity to provide excellent performance. Popular ammo choices include Swift A-Frame, Barnes TSX, Woodleigh Weldcore, Nosler Dangerous Game Solid and Cutting Edge Bullets.
