Thought about .500 S&W Magnum?

Seems to fit your size constraints, falls in your operating pressures, straight walled, big heavy bullets that hit hard out of a 8.5 inch barrel. Out of a rifle they would probably be traveling a good bit faster.

And you would have a .50 bolt action. Which I think is pretty awesome.
