50 Beowulf in a Double-action

[xs56gun]

I know they make BFRs in 50 Beowulf, but a while back I came across an interesting moon clip conversion for the S&W 500.

For anyone with either the Beowulf AR, or the 500 S&W magnum, I think this would be an interesting addition.
Nothing like being able to use your rifle ammo in your pistol, and vice versa (pronounced vee-chay vair-sa)
I'd do it if I had either one, but I dont....yet...

That is very interesting!

I will say that you could use the rifle ammo in the handgun, but if you wanted to load cast bullets for the revolver, they would need a heavy roll crimp. This would make them useless for the rifle. Without trying it, I don't know whether factory taper crimped jacketed loads would suffer from bullet pull in the revolver or not.

I could never even get 50AE cast loads to work in my Freedom Arms because of bullet pull issues.

I haven't had many issues with bullet creep in either my Super Blackhawk, or my Marlin Lever action, in 50 A.E....

but had this thought a while back... it doesn't sound like it would be too tough to make a collet die that would put a crimp groove in the case, at the base of the bullet like a lot of factory big bore cartridges have???
