What about 45-70 as a howdah cartridge? Id love something more traditional; but 45-70 has the virtue of being available. It also seems to have the necessary power for anything Id likely (or fantasy) ever be using it.

I may have found an donor action. It has back action locks and a side lever.




I thought about whether a Aikal side by side DR in 45/70 could be (early) cut into a hissy pistol. I have one, a full rifle of course. If the barrels were cut in front of the forend, curved pistol grip stock made it might work. The barrels would need to be separated and regulated. But I think it would be quite heavy. The barrels and action are quite hefty.

The .577 Snider shot a 480 gr bullet with 70 grains of BP. The .45/70 original load wa 70 grs BP and a 400 or 350 gr bullet.
