Huntingtons and Midway are out of 470SN. Are there other sources?

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

I think Swift makes softs for the 470. You could get them from Swift direct no doubt.

As far as I know, those are the only two US sources. Huntingtons gets theirs by air so if Woodleigh has them in stock the wait should be short. Midway is by boat and typically a lot longer

If you are pressed for time try the Swift A Frames.

I have recovered 480gr Woodleigh Softs and 500 gr Swift A Frames from eland and cape buff fired out of my 450 No2.

They both gave near identical expansion.

I have a feeling that the Swifts will penetrate a little bit more, but there is not enough difference in them to matter.

Thanks,
I did not realize Swift made a 470 bullet. I will try it.

Barnes also makes their triple shock bullet in 475 caliber (500 grains). I have not yet tried it in the 470 Nitro, but it performs well in smaller calibers.

Cabelas has them http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/sta...=cat20843&hasJS=true
