Thanks moonduck, you reminded me of an old handgun cartridge.

My memory is very hazy, but with everybody excited about the new .500 S&W, I wonder if any of them have heard of the .500 Maximum. I am not sure who made the cartridge but I am positive that the only gun capable of using it was a S&W (Probably the only reason Smith and Wesson came out with the .500 S&W). It was discontinued because it was damn near impossible to control.

If anyone has more concrete info, please share as I would love to hear it.
