I have the .50-70-750 of his, and it is a real handful with full loads.  In the Contender the large bore means that the barrel is very thin and light, making the entire pistol lightweight.  It's too thin to mount a scoppe, so no weight gain there.  

The FMJ bullets aren't so bad until you exceed 1100 fps with them.  My hunting load is a 475-grain RCBS bullet hollowpointed at ca. 1375 fps.  That one hurts!  I can only imagine the .50 Alaskan... :-D

I can honestly say that the 640 APIs going around 1800 fps from a 50 Alaskan will definitely get one's attention.
