Tiger I'm not sure what kind of pressures you can take but for some reason I'm not convinced this would make a good handgun round as we're doing it. I'd want to drop velocity on it a lot, not that the barrel length wouldn't already do it but jesus... BOOM.
Understand your concern, but the gun I'm shooting is a Savage Striker (built on the usual Savage bolt action) so it can handle typical pressures like any other bolt action. Handling the gun's recoil and muzzle blast is not that big a challenge after some practice and using the right set up.

Ahhhh ok. Only rifle/pistols I've shot were Thompson Contenders or my brother's S&W revolver in 460. That thing is pretty freakin sick for a 'handgun'.
