Default I knew a "500" S&W was good for something...

I think I'd be more suitable for a rifle cartridge myself


Problem with rifle round in a pistol, is the designed burn length. You get
lots of noise and a huge fireball out of a pistol. Would need to reload to
get better performance. Only pistol I sold was a Ruger .30 Carbine
revolver. As my dad said, you can cook the game at the same time you shoot
it. Was like the 3rd loudest pistol at the time. 70's.
