    That was 10mm ie 40cal not 44

    500 S&W is same as 50 Beowulf just with different rims - semi rimmed vs rebated, and I'd guess that the 500 can be cranked up a little more than the wulf due to the wulfs rebated rim that may shorten up

    50 Alaskan is a mere baby compared to the .510 Kodiak Express.



    Imagine pulling the trigger with 5,000 ft/lbs of energy out of an 1895 Marlin Lever Gun

    Greg,

    What are your thoughts on the 6.5mm Fatso?

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
