The
.50 Hush Puppy is a
rifle cartridge based on the
7mm WSM case cut off at 1.7", just at the start of the shoulder. The result is a more sturdy case capable of higher pressures than that used by the
.50 Beowulf and with a bit more taper, aiding in feeding. The .50 Hush Puppy's ballistics are slightly superior, but very similar, to the venerable 50-70. This wildcat is still in development.
