[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1598467, member: 75779"] Things do change. The laws of physics don't. There isn't enough case capacity to get high bc bullets moving fast enough. You only have about 46ish grs of powder capacity in the raptor (which is the high pressure cartridge). Because in this scenario, one of the following stops the conversation: case capacity, bullet bc, barrel length, peak pressure limitations, and COAL. 45 cal bullets are as streamlined as a brick. Even the parker match hunters barely hit .3-.4 bc if you could move them at 2800 (which you can't even come close). But then you lose case capacity because the bullet is so long. IMO people are trying to get blood out of a rock. If you need more distance, a smokeless muzzleloader is the best option. Why do you think they set up the straight wall cartridge laws the way they did? BTW I built and load for 4 Raptors and was probably the first person in Michigan to have one. Might even have the first deer kill with one (in MI). All this is to say I'm well versed in this area. [/QUOTE]
