Wondering if anyone has found a beefy 400 to 500 ohm Beverage resistor that can handle
some nearby lighting strikes? Or at least one that can hold up a good deal better
than the average. Even the 470 ohm 2-watt Beverage Resistors I purchase from DXE
are blowing up like popcorn here at my Florida QTH.

For non-inductive loads, I use Caddock resistors in a TO-220 package (so
you can heatsink mount them).
If you want something serious (e.g. for your transmitting rhombic) - the
big tubular ones from what used to be Carborundum Corp (now Sandvik,
Kanthal Globar, formerly Cesiwid)
SP series or AS series.
