I think that a 577 Sinder or a 20 ga would be very effective and more pleasant to shoot as compared to the 500S&W, 460S&W or 454Casull. I shoot a 454 Casull and have shot a 500 S&W. Those are great hunting rounds but, unless reloaded down somewhat, not the fun gun to protect oneself against vicious rocks, pinecones, armadillo, opossums, etc that I may encounter on a day in the woods. Of course, if there were real tigers agound, my 454 Casull loaded hot would be nice.




Yes I agree 500SW is excessive in power and recoil. I was thinking a downloaded or perhaps a BP load would work for both power and acceptable recoil. It also has the "look" of a Howdah cartridge,

A 20ga all brass shell (perhaps shortened to 2 or 2.5 inches), with a star crimp (picture a Paradox cartridge). Im also guessing it might be somewhat historically correct???

If it's not custom, it's just borrowed
