Nosler Safari .470 Nitro Express 500-grain Solid ammunition (brand part no. 40632) is built for dangerous-game hunters who need a bullet that drives straight through heavy bone rather than expanding. Nosler loads this Safari line on its own Nosler Cartridge Brass, pairing a 500-grain flat nose solid bullet with a load engineered to shoot to the same point of impact as Nosler’s Partition-loaded .470 NE ammunition, so a hunter can carry both and switch loads in the field without re-zeroing. That matched trajectory matters on dangerous game, where the choice between an expanding Partition and a deep-driving Solid can be made in seconds. Built for buffalo, elephant, and other heavy dangerous game, this is a serious backup or primary rifle ammunition load for a proven double rifle or bolt-action .470 NE.
