    So one has to ask. What is the intended target for said hopped up cartridge?
    I mean obviously it will have a devastating affect on flesh of any sort, but pigs aint that tough...

      ... We have different pigs. There are times I don't think a drone strike would get them dead.

      That looks like good pig medicine...shoot them right in the pig and they die

        ya gotta love a cartridge in which you use a bucket to fill the powder. The formula goes back to my budding demo days and is something like this: P+WB=E.


        (Plenty plus a Whole Bunch equals Enough).

          It can throw some heavy rocks. As heavy as you can work up a load. 360+ grs.

          You can shoot .451 and .452”. You can swage .458 down as well.

          Anything I want. Lol. Mainly for deer and hogs. I got a black bear hunt I may take it. I just a sucker for big bore pistols and the thought of having a .460 in an AR platform sent me over the edge.

          Depends on the bullet.

              Anything you can reload in a.460 SW, you can load with the .45 Raptor. Same load data.

                Indeed fellas, it’s the .45 Raptor. Here’s the ballistics:

                Some impressive stats! Can't wait to see it on it's first victim.

                    Raptor is for the 10 platform.
                    I have a nice billet lower just waiting for me to get off my butt and get a barrel for it.

                      Pretty impressive numbers there. This is on AR10 platform? Any good reloading data out there?

                      AR-10, read above

                        They make barrels for bolt guns, too. My barrel is 18” so it’ll be slightly faster.

                          460 smith data, as the Raptor is pretty much a rimless 460.

                              For comparison. .45 Raptor vs .44 mag (my favorite caliber)
