Cartridge Profile: .500 Jeffery
The .500 Jeffery is a British large-bore dangerous-game cartridge developed for magazine-fed bolt-action rifles. Its compact overall length and rebated-rim case allowed substantial performance from actions smaller than those required by some competing cartridges, although correct magazine, feed-rail, and bolt-face geometry remain essential.
Rifles Associated with the .500 Jeffery
- Historic W.J. Jeffery magazine rifles
- Modern bespoke British and European dangerous-game rifles
- Custom magnum Mauser-pattern and purpose-built controlled-feed rifles
Compatibility note: Always verify the exact chambering marked on the firearm before ordering components.
