Never had a rifle chambered in it but I've had some revolvers and killed a bunch of deer with that round. It's a shorted 475 Linebaugh.

Had a custom made "Big Horn Armory" lever come through our gun shop in 500 S&W.  Looked like a cross between an 1892 and 1886 (A little longer frame than a 1892, but a hinged loading gate...) It was a beast of a gun....
