nitro express load data

[Devin Callis]

Hey I know this might get be a long shot but does anyone have any reloading data for .450-400 NE for north fork bullets?

f you have, or can get your hands on, African Dangerous Game Cartridges by Pierre van der Walt you will find pages of consolidated, attributed loads for the express cartridges. Worth the investment if you can find a copy.

If the above does not work you can find on Amazon for a Kindle or Fire. It is a book worth having or the download for reference.

Second thought the Woodleigh reloading manual will do it.

Everything in the previously mentioned book is irrelevant when it comes to North Fork bullets,.....Aside from the safe powders to use in any given Nitro Double, which appear to be in this country RL15 and H4350. If you use the nitro conversion formula that gives you a pretty good starting point. I faced the same situation loading for an old english double and NF bullets, but I have a supply of Woodleighs that are dialed in so I abandoned NF. I will say because of the design of NF they take more powder charge to get to needed velocity.

In my case I wrote to NF for loads, and they were quite prompt in providing for my caliber
