Anyone aware of any wildcats based on the .454 Casull case,other than the .410 GNR?

     Has anyone heard any rumors of Marlin or Winchester building a rifle for the .454 Casull?

I've read of a .17/454 wildcat.  That must be fun to form....

Actually, there is a .38 Casull, platform is a lengthened (6" bbl) 1911, I think it will run 158's out at over 2000 FPS. I can't remember.
