I guess it depends on whether we’re talking semi auto or revolver cartridges.
In semi auto, 10mm or .357sig are some options for a hotter cartridge that can run thru a pistol mag. I have Hi Points in .45apc & 10mm and a TNW in 10mm. My TNW can also be converted with a replacement .357 Sig barrel for $150 that just swaps by hand.
In revolver cartridges, you’re mainly talking lever guns.
But what’s your goal? For every ‘large’ pistol caliber, there’s a hotter large rifle caliber. And a common rifle caliber like .450bm, 50 Beowulf, 45-70 gov, etc are available in other platforms like bolt actions & ARs.
I like pistol caliber carbines and have quite a few. But they’re in calibers I already stock.
Some states also have odd laws regarding hunting with straight wall cartridges so pistol calibers like .44mag in long barrels are their best option.
