Nitro Express : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nitro Express The Nitro Express (NE) series of cartridges are used in large-bore hunting rifles, also known as elephant guns or express rifles, but later came to include smaller bore high velocity (for the time) British cartridges. ==Name== The term "Express" was coined by James Purdey the younger in 1856, derived from the express train, to publicise the bullet velocity of his double rifles and became common parlance for many rifle cartridges. The addition of the word “Nitro” stemmed from the propellant used in these cartidges, cordite, which is composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine.
