Blades beat me to it.
There are also lesser known efforts floating out there as well.
You don't want to push a bullet designed for circa 1150 FPS to 1500 FPS or so. It usually will not function as intended. You'd end up with core seperation and fragmentation. Sure it'll do damage, but forget the pretty petaled mushroom common with the Talon. You'd might as well go with any other design.

What a wuss load...
What a wuss load that would be
If you were a REAL man, you'ld want the 440 Cor-Bon. It's a .50 AE case necked down to .44 calibre.
Jeez, what a bunch of wimps around here....

I dunno...
Hey, at least with the .440 Cor-Bon you can throw the cartridges at them if your gun jams. They're big and heavy enough to cause a really nasty bruise.

Brad,
That is what I always thought with my 44 automag. When I got through with casings, I figured I would drop the gun on their toes and incapacitate them.....

There is one TFLer that I recall saw the results of a person shot with a .50 Desert Eagle. If I recall correctly, he said the exit hole was so big a human hand could barely cover it.
What does this mean? That's substantially more damage than any Parabellum round could cause. More damage equates into a higher probability of the target being incapacitated.
Does this mean that we should all start carrying .50 DEs? No. But to say that a cartridge that you can take an Grizzly with would be no more effective against a human than 9x19 is to ignore the great difference in wounding capacity between 9x19 and, say, .440 Cor-Bon. Will a 9x19 kill you just as dead? Yes. Is the 9x19 more likely to do it than a cartridge that makes a much larger wound? No.
