What is 577 bullet?

The 577 bullet is a large caliber bullet used in firearms, primarily in hunting and long-range shooting. It is also commonly known as the 577 Nitro Express bullet or the 577 NE bullet.

The 577 bullet has a diameter of .585 inches (14.9mm), making it much larger than standard calibers like 9mm or .308. It typically weighs between 450-750 grains and has a muzzle velocity of around 2,000-2,500 feet per second.

Due to its size and power, the 577 bullet is capable of taking down large animals such as elephants, rhinos, and buffalo with a single shot. However, it is also expensive and not commonly used for everyday shooting or hunting.

The 577 bullet was first introduced in the late 19th century by the British firearm company, Holland & Holland. It was designed for big-game hunting in Africa and quickly became popular among wealthy hunters and adventurers. Today, the 577 bullet is still used by some hunters and enthusiasts, but it is rare and has mostly been replaced by more modern calibers.
