necked down 500 s&w or 500 special?

has anyone necked down the 500 s&w or 500 special?

i thought the 500 special necked to the 458 in a wheelgun would be cool, kinda like the 450 bone crusher.

SSK has necked down the .500 to .475 and .458, don't know if they do it for revolvers but they do it for the Encore singleshots.

My .450 Bonecrusher is very similar. Essentially it's a .500 Linebaugh necked down and blown out to .458". I've been using it in 5-shot Blackhawks for a few years now.

Here's a picture of the first one I built:
