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.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
