Update 25/09/2024 - V2 is now live!
This design was my first ever 3D model attempt and there were couple of minor imperfections I wanted to get straight, so I reuploaded the .stl files today to address these minor issues. Check these out!!

The .500 Nitro Express is a rifle cartridge designed for hunting large and dangerous game animals in Africa and India.
These files allow you to print an exact replica of this cartridge, along with its brass case.
Both the files can also be used to print some disposable snap caps for your precious break action guns chambered 500 NE.
After the introduction of cordite (smokeless powder) around the end of XIX century, most previous big game hunting black powder cartridges where gradually evolved into full power Nitro Express rounds. Mated with a 570gr (37 g) solid bullet, the .500 Nitro Express has become one of the best elephant cartridges on the African savanna.

Notes:
I haven't had the opportunity to print one yet due to accumulated backlog. I may be updating this project with printed samples and comparison to the real deal in the next future or maybe YOU will contribute to the community with the first make ever! 🙂
How I Designed This
Onshape
I modeled these 3D files after Hornady reloading brass case and bullet actual specifications.
