Cartridge History
The .585 Nyati is a modern ultra-large-bore cartridge associated with Ross Seyfried and with the goal of obtaining .577-class performance from a custom bolt-action rifle. It is a specialized cartridge rather than a universally standardized commercial chamber.
Rifles and Platforms
- Custom bolt-action rifles built specifically for .585 Nyati
- Large controlled-feed or single-feed actions selected by the rifle builder
Compatibility warning: Non-SAAMI/non-C.I.P. custom cartridge; the rifle builder's chamber, bolt face, dies, and brass specification control compatibility Similar names, shared parent cases, or matching caliber alone do not establish interchangeability.
Did You Know?
Nyati means buffalo in several African languages and reflects the cartridge's intended heavy dangerous-game role.
