I will order a Heym .500 Nitro which Bullets are you regular Shooters recomand Hornady, Norma or LFB Bullets http://www.labor-fuer-ballisti.../de/Katalog_2011.pdf . Thanks in advance

What Country are you in???

Which factory can you get the easiest???

I can order all 3 Brands pretty easy.
Quality counts !

I use LFB in my Heym 450/400, they are good and well constructed bullets both in solid and soft.

I used Hornady softs as well (not the current DG production), the bullets were so flimsy that I only use them for "plinking" now.

I'd like to test the new DG Hornady to see what they're worth.

You are happy with LFB Soft Bullets for Buffalo ?!

Philip,
I used the new DGX last year out of a .458 Lott on a cape buffalo and wasn't very pleased with the results. The first shot started to mushroom and then the mushroom sheared off at the top. The second sheared off all the way to the cannelure. I think the solids are just fine but will change to a different bullet for the next DG hunt. I think the jackets are too brittle.

Wonder Nobody is useing Norma Bullets in a Heym.

Maybe because Norma uses mostly Woodleigh- which have been already subject to numerous discussions. I like them.

Norma makes superb ammo, so they would be my first choice in factory rounds. The only negative I have experienced with Norma is with their brass in .470NE. I have found it very thin and brittle. I experienced head separation after just a couple of reloads. If you could combine the Hornady brass with the Norma (Woodleigh) bullets, you would have the best of both.

mbb - just a note on LFB - they are loading Woodleigh bullets - hope this clears things up a bit

Don Heath at Norma said they beefed up their 9.3x74R brass last fall. Maybe they did the same to their 470 brass.
