The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 500/416 3 1/4" Nitro Express was introduced by Krieghoff in 1996. It was the first cartridge since before WWII to be called "Nitro Express" and its name says it all: It is based on the 500 Nitro Express case necked down to take a .416-inch bullet, with case length of 3.25 inches. Designed for double rifles, it is loaded to lower pressure than the several 416s for bolt actions, propelling a 410-grain bullet at 2325 fps for just under 5000 ft-lbs of energy. Now chambered by most makers of modern doubles, it is adequate for the largest game, yet with its higher velocity shoots flatter and is thus more versatile than the older big-bore Nitro Express cartridges.
