If your talking brownies then the 458 Lott is awesome although like I said I haven't tested it in a handgun length barrel yet. That is just a monster for deer. Don't get me wrong I don't believe in overkill but a big question is have you ever shot anything close to that in a handgun platform? The Win Mag I have is very controllable with a firm grip and the two inch muzzle brake but if I shoot it without my gloves on it will bruise the center of my palm by the third or fourth shot. If the belted mags and semi tapered cases are ok you might look at the 450 Marlin as mentioned above, that is What Ed Folmar shot his Elephant with using 500gr solids. It just depends on what your wanting. I figured there where two types of guys that would buy my barrels in the big calibers, one is the true dangerous game hunter and the other the guy that likes the biggest toys. I'm also figuring on eventually getting into the big rimmed african cals and possibly some of the big Sharps rounds. In fact if you want something unique with power you could look at the 45-90 or maybe in 45-120.
