Product Description
The .240 Weatherby Magnum Rimless Round represents a significant milestone in the evolution of high-performance ammunition. Introduced by renowned firearms designer Roy Weatherby in 1968, this cartridge was specifically designed to deliver exceptional accuracy, velocity, and terminal performance for hunters and long-range shooters.
Roy Weatherby, known for his innovative approach to firearms design, sought to create a cartridge that would surpass existing standards in terms of velocity and trajectory. Drawing upon his expertise in ballistics and engineering, he developed the .240 Weatherby Magnum Rimless Round to achieve precisely that.
At its core, the .240 Weatherby Magnum Rimless Round features a .24 caliber (6mm) bullet seated atop a highly efficient case with Weatherby's signature double-radius shoulder design. This unique configuration allows for optimal powder capacity, resulting in impressive velocities and flat trajectories that are ideal for long-range shooting and hunting applications.
With velocities approaching 4,000 feet per second (fps), the .240 Weatherby Magnum Rimless Round delivers exceptional downrange energy and terminal performance, making it well-suited for hunting a variety of game, including deer, antelope, and smaller predators.
The 11.43x50R (43) Egyptian Remington M1870 N.D.FS brass cartridge case is a historical ammunition component notable for its use in the Remington Rolling Block rifles adopted by Egypt in the late 19th century. This cartridge, also known as the .43 Egyptian, features a rimmed, bottlenecked design with a brass case that measures 50mm in length and 11.43mm in diameter.
Manufactured primarily for military use, the 11.43x50R cartridge was designed for the Remington Rolling Block rifles and carbines, which were favored for their robustness and simplicity. The "N.D.FS" marking on the cartridge denotes the manufacturer North Devon Firearm Services.
The brass case of the cartridge is highly durable, and able to withstand the high pressures generated upon firing. This durability, coupled with the powerful black powder charge it originally contained, made the 11.43x50R an effective round for military engagements, providing reliable performance and significant stopping power.
Collectors and historians value the 11.43x50R (43) Egyptian Remington M1870 N.D.FS brass cartridge case for its historical significance and its role in the development of military small arms during a period of significant technological advancement in firearms
