The 50 Beowulf is a "rifle" round in that it does the same thing as a 45-70.
Doesn't mean that the lines don't get blurred between the categories all the time. Old and slow (ie, safe for all firearms) 45-70 loads can be surpassed by 454 Casull loads or other big bore handgun rounds.
Some things are like platypi, they just don't fit well in any single category.
