465 H&H brass

[tackleberry4]

Hey guys, i have 25 465 Holland &Holland brass. The brass is straight walled with no neck taper? Almost looks like basic. It is H&H brass and new. Some of the necks are dented up a little from storage and need to go thru a die. Asking 175.00 for them but if I'm off let me know and an offer.

Wow! You're the first AH member here who has actually admitted to having an actual .465 H&H cartridge case in their possession, despite the pleadings of @Pheroze and myself for the last several years for any AH member to produce one. Nobody came forward. You have the rimmed version but beggars can't be choosy. LOL. GLWS!

Sorry i couldn't help earlier. Just picked these up in a buy.

@CoElkHunter
These are not the newer 465 H&H mag for the bolt gun. These are rimmed casings for the 500/465 H&H NE double guns, been around over 100 years.

 

[tackleberry4]

Correct. That's the reason I noted they are straight walled and not necked but they are rimmed.

Oh, thanks for the clarification.

Pretty sure this is brass made by BELL for H&H back in the '80s. The loaded ammo came in brown plastic boxes of ten.

I think you are correct. Headstamp looks like it.

THANKS .... FYI ... FROM WIKIPEDIA

The .500/465 Nitro Express is a large bore interfere rifle cartridge developed by Holland & Holland and introduced in 1907.

The .500/465 Nitro Express is one of several rounds (including the .470 Nitro Express, .475 Nitro Express, .475 No. 2 Nitro Express and .476 Nitro Express) developed as a replacement for the .500/450 Nitro Express following the British authorities' 1907 ban of military caliber ammunition in India and the Sudan, all with comparable performance.

Holland & Holland created the .500/465 Nitro Express by necking down the .500 Nitro Express 3+1⁄4

The .500/465 Nitro Express is designed for use in single-shot and double rifles.

History of the 500/.465 (3&1/4″) Nitro Express cartridge: The .500/.465 (3&1/4″) Nitro Express was introduced by Holland & Holland of England to answer the demand for a cartridge more powerful then the 375 H&H Magnum (375 Holland & Holland Magnum) . At close to 5,000 foot pounds of energy this cartridge has as much energy at 200 yards as the 375 H&H Magnum has at the muzzle.
