Something different.

Hi all. While drooling over a 444 Marlin BFR earlier i had a thought. What would be an interesting, different cartridge you would like to see in a BFR? Even if it was just a one off job.
For me it would be a 5 or possibly 6 shot 375 Win.

Maybe a .500 Linebaugh Maximum.

I'd actually like to see someone upsize the 357/44 Bain & Davis concept by necking the 500 S&W mag down to either .429 or .41.

I like your .375 winchester idea.

Since there is an ejector rod on the BFR a rimless bottleneck cartridge should pop out as easily as a rimmed case does... but I just don’t think the .35 Remington has enough shoulder to keep it in place or I’d say that caliber would be cool.

Stay safe.

I'd like to see a .50-90 Sharps in a BFR.

How about a 250 savage?

Lengthen the chambers of the existing .357 Magnum BFR .135" to accept the .360 Dan Wesson and use a 10" 1:14 twist barrel. The .360 DW can be loaded to duplicate the ultra-pressure .353 Casull without fear of the ammo winding up in the wrong gun.
For the long-cylinder revolver, how about the .357 Herrett?

I think one in .223/5.56 would make for a pleasant shooing, and extremely accurate BFR. Ammo is also cheap enough to make it affordable to shoot it often and a lot.

A BFR in 357 Herrett would be a sweet handgun for hogs. Would also be a fun silhouette gun with the longer barrel.
