It has been suggested that .470 Nitro Express be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2007.

The Nitro Express series of cartridges are used in large-bore hunting rifles, also known as elephant guns or express rifles. They are named after the propellant they use, cordite, which is composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. The Nitro line is a straight-sided brass cartridge, and fire large diameter bullets.
