I wonder if a .458 American (.458x2") could be shoehorned into a 99? Perhaps a .300 blown out straight to .45 or thereabouts, headspaced on the case mouth a l� the automatic pistol cartridges?

When I got to it, the squirrel had caught it between its teeth and was laughing at me...just ain't no firepower in a 250svg so guess I'll have to go to a 416 rigby

So fast that the innards are sucked out the off-side hole and so hot that the remaining 'dillo parts are dried and ready to display on a side table. Jeff
