After much thought, I've decided on the .457 Alaskan conversion. It just makes sense. The .50 Alaskan is powerfull but lack of good bullets and brass off the shelf preclude it. With the .457 you can still use 45-70 rounds and shoot 2 3/4" .410 shotgun rounds. This makes the 1895G truely a great bush gun. Wild West claim 3758 FPE at 1900 FPS, enough to kill anything on the plant. Also if things work out I will be getting a Pedersoli Kodiak Mark IV in 45-70 and having two guns in the same round makes life easier.
