If it is not cordite, then it is .500BPE/ blackpowder express. Nitro express refers to cordite loads. The rifle should clearly bear the markings. Do check. I doubt if there are any BPE loads left in the country though one can never be sure.

Dear SATHVIK, neither 500NE is fun to shoot nor it's affordable, given you are not abroad.

Pick up 30-06, I heard IOF is quite an accurate rifle - Chow

30.o6 is my next choice if I didn't get any ammo for the 500 express.

500NE is still one of the most powerful Rifle available. Though the usage are limited now as hunting is banned long Ago. but I think the weapon itself deserves some respect. Fun Shooting with a high power Rifle in any way is not advisable. these are weapons made with a special purpose though with time the usefulness of the Gun may reduce but not its power.
