Anyone have any ideas as to where I could line up a non-trophy elephant hunt using my S&W 500 revolver? (Don't laugh - it's been done!)

I took a large stink-bull giraffe with it back in 2006. One shot in the neck and the ground shook. I plan on using 440-gr. punched bullets, or 600-gr. hard lead. I've taken elephant before, but that was with a Searcy .577.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
