[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2886413, member: 8394"] If you do the mag route the raptor gets positive feedback, basically a bolt action 4570 with 452 bullets. My conundrum is balancing power and recoil. I could easily swap a bolt face and make a 375wsm.... but know in a 13lop manners, with a light contur 16 inch barrel on a model 7 or kimber it kills both ways. 308 powder column seems like as big as I can go. The 375 raptor looks good but, the 452 bullet selection is vast and cheap... the 375 not. Most modern 375 bullets like 375 have launch speeds as well. I've come full circle and just stuck with a slightly fast twist 308... [/QUOTE]
