 Most Powerful Semi-HG NOT a 10mm/DEagle?

Is there anything out there that is a viable semiautomatic more powerful than a 10mm but not the size weight class of a Desert Eagle?

Does anyone make say-at .44 Mag-.50 AE energy class in a viable semi weapon system that can be carried?

I don't handload so a 10mm"+P" home grown load is not possible-I'm curious though.

How about a Coonan .357 Magnum auto?

Isn't .357 roughly less power 10 mm wise?

That .50 is not really that hot IIRC, but it sure is awesome

Wow, some nice numbers around 800 FPE.

Anyone hunt with it?

I took a 200lb hog with mine a few years back. Didn't notice any practical advantages over my 10mm loads, so I sold it shortly afterward.
