Nosler Safari Rifle Ammunition .470 Ne 500 Gr Sld 2300 Fps - 10/Box

The Nosler Safari .470 NE rifle ammunition is a heavy-hitter for dangerous game hunting, built around a 500-grain solid bullet. This is ammo designed for African plains game and big-bore enthusiasts who demand reliable, deep penetration and controlled expansion when it counts. Nosler loads each round with their own cartridge brass and pairs it with a flat-nose solid bullet, delivering consistent performance in one of the most respected dangerous-game calibers.

What sets Safari ammunition apart is its point-of-impact consistency—Nosler engineers these loads so that the solid bullet shoots to the same zero as their Partition rounds, making it easy to practice with one load and hunt with another without re-zeroing. If you're running a .470 NE for dangerous game or long-range hunting on heavy game, this ammunition bridges the gap between practicing affordably and executing a hunt with confidence.

Each box contains 10 rounds loaded to a muzzle velocity of 2,300 feet per second. The 500-grain solid is the choice for maximum penetration and straight-line performance—ideal when you need a bullet that will hold together and drive deep. Whether you're prepping for a safari or working up loads for dangerous game territory in North America, this is ammunition from a maker that understands the caliber's demands.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the .470 NE caliber used for?

The .470 NE is a dangerous-game caliber historically developed for hunting large African game. It's also used by hunters pursuing big game that requires deep penetration and stopping power. The heavy, solid bullet is designed to maintain integrity and penetrate deeply regardless of shot angle or intervening obstacles.

Can I use the Nosler Safari solid load and Partition load interchangeably?

Nosler designs the Safari solid and Partition loads to shoot to the same point of impact, so you can practice with one load and hunt with another without re-zeroing your rifle. This flexibility is valuable if you want to practice with solids and hunt with expanding bullets, or vice versa.

Is the brass reloadable?

Yes, the ammunition uses Nosler cartridge brass, which can be reloaded. This is valuable for a lower-volume caliber like the .470 NE, where factory ammunition is more expensive and reloading extends your ammo supply.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 10 rounds, which is standard for dangerous-game ammunition where payload weight and cost per round are higher than standard rifle calibers.
