I was looking at the H&R1871 web site and noticed the handi-rifle is being chambered in .50S&W. If we extrapolate the ballistics from the revolver to the rifle we can have a 440 grain bullet at 2000 to 2100 fps. This gives almost 4200 ft/lbs of energy. These are my figures and could be wrong but this puts a handi-rifles in useful for anything which walks or crawls anywhere on earth. Am I figuring this right? I am also wondering about monster recoil.
