I started to collect English NE's though stopped as the sheer scope of them plus the cost of your bigger rounds like a 600 Nitro Kynoch loaded will set you back around $100/Aud now.
I paid $80 for mine anyway there are probably a few I obtained after that pic but there are in Pic #1 - 470's, 500's, 505 Gibbs, 600, .33 BSA, 375's, 375 coiled and so on.
I got a 700 NE unloaded its pic #2 with a 303 MKVII as a scale the projie is a 1000Gns each loaded round is well north of a $100/Aud if you want to fire one.
Pic #3 though not NE is all of Roy Weatherby's cartridges less the 30/378 which I dearly wish to collect one day it also shows the discontinued .224WM also the 6.5/300 as that is fairly new.
I can attest to firing the 460 Weatherby from my friends rifle in its standard MkV stock is an event, much better with a custom stock and dead mule though still enough recoil to chip enamel from your teeth as I found out.

I have a 600 Nitro, got it for free in the '80s. I see there's one in the center line there...picture one.

I believe the 505 Gibbs cartridge is the largest used in a bolt action magazine rifle ? There was years ago a custom gunsmith by the name of Wells (Arizona) that
did machine long magnum Mauser type actions for very large calibers
