For some time after the turn of the century, the .500/450 Magnum BPE was loaded with cordite to become the .500/450 Magnum Nitro for Black, the same cartridge loaded with mild loadings of cordite, carefully balanced through trial to replicate the ballistics of the Black powder version.[1]
The .500/450 Magnum BPE was a popular cartridge for deer and similarly sized game, particularly in Africa.[1] Available until World War II,[1] the round has long since ceased to be offered commercially.
