I'd be very careful of making a .500 Nitro on a shotgun. We're talking chamber pressure here and while a double shotgun is slightly overbuilt for the typical 11,000PSI of a pelet load they are not designed for 35,000PSI.
I agree. BTW, max average for the .500 Nitro Express is 40,610 PSI, so pressures of CIP standard factory ammo will be fairly close to that. I don't want to shoot one of those built on a shotgun action.
