Krieghoff's goal is the perfect combination of gun and cartridge. So in conjunction with WR Ammunition Company (Wolfgang Romey), the world renowned German specialist in big bore ammunition, we have developed a new flanged cartridge - The .500/.416 NITRO EXPRESS (3 1/4").
The designation says it all. It is a 3 1/4" .500 caliber case and a .416 bullet - components which are popular throughout the world and readily available everywhere.
 
The ballistics are perfect for use on dangerous game - similar to the famed .416 Rigby but at slightly lower pressure and with the supreme advantage of a flanged cartridge providing reliable extraction in a double rifle.
