Dean, I have never seen a Nitro Express cartridge chambered in a bolt action.

Not being a "dangerous game" guy I allowed my ignorance to show...

Secret message for Dean. .500 Jeffrey is considered a Nitro Express and was originally the .500 Schuler, a cartridge designed for the Schuler "Jumbo", a really big bolt gun. One of our gun club members used a .500 Jumbo for years and his widow offered it for sale a few years ago. It is a $15,000 gun and we (meaning I) had no idea what it was and let it be swept up by a Left Coast dealer. What the heck, someone has probably chambered a bolt gun for the .470 NE at some time or other.
