Does anyone have any bullets for the .475 #2 Eley that they could part with? Thank you,
Steve
 
From Hawk's website:

.475 #2 Nitro-Express (.482)​

Round Nose
400 grains x .035 RN$65.50
400 grains x .050 RN$74.00
500 grains x .035 RN$70.00
500 grains x .050 RN$80.00
500 grains x .065 RN$132.50
 
Well this goes to prove importance of slugging the bore vs relying on my memory, the rifle turns out to be .475 #2 Jeffery and requires a .488" bullet. I had a small supply and am aware of Hawk but any NOS Kynoch, Barnes are Woodleigh would be desirable. Thank you
 
I appreciate the info. I'm not comfortable with mono-metal bullets in old doubles myself, I know some people are. I am still looking for some good bullets to feed this old gal.

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
