| 500 Nitro Express |
| The 500 Nitro Express was introduced in 1890 and was filled with Cordite Smokeless Powder and was derived from the 500 Express BPE "Straight". BPE means Black Powder Express. *Cordite was invented in 1889 and was used in Military Cartridges and then British Sporting Cartridges starting in 1901. Cordite looks like thin red spaghetti and was later replaced the early 1900's by modern day smokeless gunpowder. Below are 3 different head stamps and a few boxes |
