back in the early to mid 2000's Federal had a good corner on the market over there..then they went insane in prices.. Hornady saw an opening and started producing ammo for 470 and 500NE.. boom the price of Federal come back down.. weird..

Now Norma and Barnes both produce ammo for the 470NE. along with the two mentioned above...and price isn't that bad really.. costs on sites like Midway run $7-$12 per round..

I have not purchased 470NE ammo in a long time..the last time I did any shooting of the 470 it was my own reloads.. shoots incredibly well with the load I have..
