damagewise? My guess is around 10-12S. Now, before ya'll start flamin'
me, let me explain why. First off, from everything I've seen, the Heavy
Pistols are in the .44-.45 caliber range. As such, they do 9M. The TKO
of a .45 cartridge is 12. The TKO of the .577 is 29. That's more than
double. Also, the guns that fire this cartridge were made in the 1900's
IIRC. As such, they're pretty much not available(very high availabilty
TN). The article I read stated that one guy spent roughly $7,500 to
convert a reguler revolver(ie the Ruger Super Warhawk) to fire the .577
cartridge. Also, the rounds would probably cost $5 a peice as they have
to be custom made. Plus, the round is so large that you can only load 5
in a cylinder, versus the normal 6 or 8. And last but not least, this
thing was designed to take down charging wild game(ie tigers, elephants,
etc).
