Hornady 470 NE

I noticed on mail order place that Hornady 470 NE brass and bullets were listed with item numbers. Same thing happened last year with the 9.3x74R stuff and it finally came to be. No price or delivery estimate. This could be good news for lots of us that are tired of paying crazy prices for Norma Brass.

I noticed that, too. Graf's lists .450-400 NE (3") and .450 NE (3.25") as does Hornady's own site; but Hornady doesn't mention the .470 NE or the .450-400 NE (3.25") shown at Graf's.

There's no 450/400 3.25" on Graf's site. But...
there IS the Hornady 470NE on the Graf's site! TBA of course but they built a product code. This is great. But no, no mention of 470 on Hornady's. The days of Federal bending us over a barrel are numbered, we hope.

Why buy Norma brass when you can (could) buy Jamison for less than half the cost. New Guy posted a sectioned view of a 470(?) case that had been loaded 8-9 times and it was in terrific condition.

They mentioned it at DSC back in January.
Talked to tech last week, when I was asking about leverevolution components, said no idea when it will actually happen

The .450/.400 3" is out as is the brass and bullets. The 9.3X74R brass and bullets are out, but I don't know about the ammo. They've made bullets and brass for .450 3 1/4", and are working up loads in their pressure barrel now. They'll offer .450/.400 3 1/4" brass soon, but are not planning on offering factory ammo. I'm sure the .470 will come after the .450 project is completed. This stuff takes time.

Graf's has 9.3x74 ammo, but Norma's cheaper, go figure. The Norma's very good in the 2 Chapuis I shot it in. If you look at your Chapuis test target, for those who don't know, the "Chapuis Oryx 18.5 grammes" ammo used to regulate is loaded by Norma. The Oryx bullet's obviously Norma but they do in fact load it, as they do for alot of other companies.
