470 nitro express Product Overview
470 nitro express From African big game to the American Grizzly Bear, Hornady’s Dangerous Game ammunition provides
the shooter an exceptional load with more energy transfer and lots of knockdown power.
The 470 nitro express non-expanding bullet is recommended for thick-skinned game such as elephant, rhino and hippo.
Its tough copper clad steel jacket is designed to provide maximum penetration from all angles on thick-skinned and heavy boned dangerous game animals. Powders are carefully matched to each load to ensure optimum pressure and velocity, and to regulate in double rifles.
Like all Hornady ammunition, Dangerous Game ammunition uses the highest quality cases and primers available.
Consistent components translate to consistent shooting in the field.
This 470 nitro express ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases.
The Hornady® DGS® (Dangerous Game Solid) bullets feature an advanced profile built of the toughest materials that penetrate through thick hide,
dense muscle and hard bone — delivering maximum stopping power.
The business end of the DGS® bullet features a wide, flat nose that delivers maximum energy upon impact.
while resisting bullet deformation and deflection. Incorporating a very hard high antimony lead core with a copper-clad steel jacket,
this bullet maintains integrity and overall weight retention when driving through even the toughest hide and bone.
Uniform in shape and size to the DGX® (Dangerous Game™ eXpanding) bullet, you can reliably
and accurately shoot both from the same firearm with little to no shift in point of aim or impact.

The 470 Nitro Express was originally designed by Lang’s as a replacement for the 450 Nitro Express.
After the 4470 Nitro Express was banned in several British colonies including India in 1907 (its bullets could
theoretically be removed from loaded rounds for use by natives in stolen .577/.450 Martini Henry rifles).
Due to the heavy bullet and powder charge, the gun has significant recoil but this is mitigated by the low velocity
, resulting in recoil being delivered as a strong push rather than a violent blow.
Rifles chambered for this cartridge tend to be heavy double-gun style, and are typically quite expensive.
The .470 NE continues to be the most popular of all the Nitro Express cartridges. Ammunition and components are readily available.
Additional Information On 470 Nitro Express
Like other ‘dangerous game’ cartridges, ammunition is expensive compared with standard hunting cartridges,
often costing up to 10 times more per shell than typical cartridges such as the .30-06.
Because of this many shooters choose to handload the .470 NE.
Brass can be obtained from a variety of sources, and like most reloading components varies in quality.
Lighter loads for practice can be created that are more enjoyable and cheaper to shoot.
Hornady® manufactures Dangerous Game™ Series ammunition with only the finest components, under strict quality control measures.
Our classic bullet designs are tailored to meet the needs of the serious safari hunter.
We use techniques and processes that rival hand loads, with the ultimate goal of making every cartridge accurate, deadly and dependable!
Premium .470 NE hunting bullets designed to deliver devastating momentum while focusing on precise penetration to go through even the thickest hides at a variety of ranges.

Product Features
HIGH PERFORMANCE HORNADY® BULLETS
From the InterLock® SP-RP bullets to the heavy-hitting DGS® and DGX® bullets, each Dangerous Game™ Series load is topped with a deadly projectile.
InterLock® SP-RP Bullets
SP-RP stands for “spire point – recoil proof,” and the design of this bullet eliminates the problem of tip deformation during recoil.
These heavy-duty InterLock® bullets combine rugged design with improved trajectory in dangerous game rifles.
DGS® Bullets
The DGS® non-expanding bullet is recommended for thick-skinned game such as elephant, rhino and hippo.
Its tough copper clad steel jacket is designed to provide maximum penetration from all angles on thick-skinned and heavy boned dangerous game animals.
DGX® Bonded Bullets
DGX® Bonded bullets are built to the same profile as the corresponding DGS® (Dangerous Game™ Solid) bullets but expand to 1½ to 2 times their bullet diameter.
They feature a copper-clad steel jacket bonded to a lead core to provide limited, controlled expansion with deep penetration and high weight retention.
Bonding the jacket to the core prevents separation from high-energy impact on tough material like bone, ensuring the bullet stays together for deep expansion.
POWDER
Powders are carefully matched to each load to ensure optimum pressure and velocity, and to regulate in double rifles.
Some of our Dangerous Game™ Series loads feature Superformance® propellant technology.
CASE AND PRIMER
Like all Hornady® ammunition, our Dangerous Game™ ammunition uses the highest quality cases and primers available.
Consistent components translate to consistent shooting in the field.
