I would have to agree that the 470 will always outsell the 500 by a tremendous margin--maybe even 10:1?? Does anyone know specifics?

After all the 470 is just the Double equivilent of the 458 WM.There are no flies on the 470 and its a surenuff reliable ELE killer but I sure hope the 500 will hang around as the parent cartridge.

My logic-If your going to drop that kind of cash$$ on a close range stopper why not max the Doubles killing potential?
It is a bigger hammer in the same size gun and it just too much fun to shoot to disappear!!Just can't wait to see the effect on some pigs & African game!
