Is the 460 weatherby magnum stronger than the 470 nitro express?

It will depend on who is making the receiver.

Never deviate from published reloading data. You risk injury or death if you do.


Why does the 475 No2 Nitro Express have a significantly larger case capacity than the 460 weatherby magnum and yet has far less muzzle energy and is it possible to safely reload it hotter than a 460?

The 475 Nitro is a low pressure cartridge. The 460 Weatherby is a high pressure cartridge. They use different powders. No, you cannot reload a 475 Nitro to 460 pressures because a gun chambered for 475 would not take the higher pressure.


Is there any bigger caliber other than 50?

There are several, such as the .600 Nitro Express and .700 Nitro Express, not to mention anything considered a cannon.


When YOU hear ''600 Nitro Express'' do YOU instantly think ''handgun'' or ''rifle''?

I think large, heavy, expensive, custom made double barreled rifle. To the best of my knowledge, there was one handgun made in .600 Nitro Express, more as a curiousity than a usable handgun.


Is there a bullet bigger than a 50 cal?

Yes, here's several. .585 Nyati, .600 Nitro Express, .700 Nitro Express, 14.5x115... then you have weapons classed as cannons (20mm and up). The .50 BMG/12.7x99 isn't even remotely close to being the largest cartridge out there.


Why do all Weatherby calibers have a double radius shoulder?

Rather than a sharp angle at shoulder and neck, Weatherby cartridges have a curve. This was done for a smoother flow of the gasses from the burning powder, and as you note, is a characteristic of the Weatherby cartridges.

What is a nitro rifle?

Way back when, rifles were made to use black powder. Newer technology came into being, with Smokeless Powder, which is based on Nitrocellulose (guncotton) and Nitroglycerin. These new guns had more power than the old black powder. To impress customers with the idea of the increased power, many cartridge makers incorporated the term Nitro and/or Express (a very fast train) into the name of their cartridges- like the Holland & Holland .600 Nitro Express. (Ummm- yes- new and improved- gotta go buy one. )


Why does Woodleighs fmj 600 Nitro Express bullets have more of a blunt nose than standard round nose solids?

is in the die design. Thoughts that flat area might help stop deflection.


What other bullets can you use in your weatherby 270 other than weatherby magnum?

It can only safely accept the 270 Weatherby Magnum if that is what it is chambered for. If you want to chamber it in some other caliber than get a new rifle. Just because two bullets have the same diameter bullet (270 or any other caliber) does not make it safe to fire it in your gun.
