What is a nitro rifle?

Way back when, rifles were made to use black powder. Newer technology came into being, with Smokeless Powder, which is based on Nitrocellulose (guncotton) and Nitroglycerin. These new guns had more power than the old black powder. To impress customers with the idea of the increased power, many cartridge makers incorporated the term Nitro and/or Express (a very fast train) into the name of their cartridges- like the Holland & Holland .600 Nitro Express. (Ummm- yes- new and improved- gotta go buy one. )
