Not impossible at all. Look to the Italians. If you look around you can find a very nice Italian hammer gun that will digest anything you feel like pulling the triggers on. In that price range you should be able to find a Bernardelli, or one of the lesser known names that they, or other firms, produced. I have owned a San Giorgio, which I have been told was made by Bernardelli, for several years, and shoot it in S x S hammer gun events, with over-the-counter loads. It's as safe with them as an 870 Remmy. Mine was made in 1973.
What you want is out there. I'm sure others will suggest some other options, too.
