Product Description
The vintage Kynoch .500/.465 Nitro Express cartridge case is a remarkable artifact from the golden age of safari hunting, developed by Kynoch, one of the most esteemed British ammunition manufacturers. This particular cartridge, designed for large and dangerous game, was a favorite among hunters in Africa and India during the early 20th century, prized for its power and reliability in double rifles.
The inert cartridge case, which is made of high-quality brass, measures approximately 3.25 inches in length. It features a rimmed design, characteristic of the cartridges used in double-barrel rifles, ensuring smooth extraction and reloading under the intense conditions of big-game hunting. The thick-walled brass casing was engineered to handle the immense pressures generated by the potent loads, essential for taking down the largest and most dangerous animals.
The base of the case bears the distinctive Kynoch headstamp, a mark of its authenticity and historical significance. This inert cartridge, devoid of primer and powder, is safe for display and collecting, offering a physical link to the adventurous spirit of early 20th-century hunters. The Kynoch .500/.465 Nitro Express cartridge case stands as a testament to the era’s craftsmanship, precision engineering, and the thrill of the hunt
