[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2886239, member: 68542"] The short action is inhibiting, and if I can’t find a cool cartridge to bore to I’ll probably just rebarrel to a 6.5cm and keep it tame. The 45 raptor brass can be formed from 270 or 30/06 brass so it’s the same case head, so extraction shouldn’t be an issue. There’s a lot of reliable 45 cal rifle shells produced at this point that seem to function just fine. They do end up straight well (or near it) but with the number of factory chamberings of 450bm and 458 socom I can’t see that being an inhibiting factor. [/QUOTE]
