The "4 bore rifle" caliber's technical data was reissued by C.I.P in 1993. The latest revision of the homologation papers were released by May 15, 2002. [8] This standard and its variations are reflected in obsolete 4 gauge shotgun cartridges and their repurposing as modern 1-inch (25.4 mm) bore flare cartridges. [9] [10] [11]
Common rifle cartridges, from the largest .50 BMG to the smallest .22 Long Rifle with a $1 United States dollar bill in the background as a reference point. This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load ...
The cartridge was originally designed as a deer stalking round with a 260 gr (17 g) bullet, although later a 530 gr (34 g) loading was produced for target shooting. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The .500/450 No. 1 Nitro for Black was the same cartridge loaded with mild loadings of cordite , carefully balanced to replicate the ballistics of the black powder version.
The .416 Ruger is a .41 caliber (10.6 x 65.5mm), rimless, bottleneck cartridge designed as a joint venture by Hornady and Ruger in 2008. [3] It is designed to equal the performance of the .416 Rigby and .416 Remington Magnum from a standard length .30-06 length action.
The result was two cartridges: the .400 H&H Magnum and the .465 H&H magnum. [2] The cartridge was launched in 2003 to the public in 2003 in the UK and Europe and became available in North America in 2008. It follows in a long line of illustrious big bore cartridges introduced by Holland & Holland, the last of which was the .700 Nitro Express.
The cartridge was created to replace the magnum length .416 Rigby which at that time was nearly obsolete, with a cartridge that would fit into a standard length bolt-action rifle. The shorter action rifles are not only easier to carry in heavy cover, but also make it more convenient to carry more ammunition. [5]
The cartridge case itself was designed by cutting off the .348 Winchester case to 1.405 in (35.7 mm), turning the rim to a diameter of .610 in (15.5 mm) and opening the case mouth to accept a .510 caliber (12.95 mm) bullet. The first revolvers converted to use the .500 Linebaugh were the Ruger Bisley and the Seville revolvers.
However, the .500 Bushwhacker cartridge can generate 3,004.6 ft/s (916 m/s) with a 230-grain bullet from a 14-inch (356 mm) revolver. [6] The .460 cartridge achieves high velocities by combining light-for-caliber bullets, a large case capacity, and the high chamber pressures (65,000 psi maximum) typical of magnum rifle cartridges.
