.500 vs .577 vs .600 NE

Hmmm, it is interesting that the 450 and 470 cartridges both shoot bullets in the 480-500 grain range.

Is one considered superior to the other - I suppose the 458 bullets penetrate better and the 470s have larger frontal area?

They are two peas in a pod. .470 came about as a replacement when the Brits banned .458 caliber cartridges.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
