[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1100637, member: 90399"] Yes, I did think the same thing about the twist rate. They did have an 100 yard grouping picture on their website and all bullets went through the same hole. But that could just be marketing, not repeatable, etc... How do you think a 450 Bushmaster would do on whitetail at 150-250 yards? The case is barely shorter than the 460SW Improved but the chamber pressures are vastly different. So far it actually appears the most economical way to achieve my goal is to order a new DPMS G2 AR10 and put on a 45 Raptor barrel for $235. I would probably have under $1,400 into the whole thing. But I just don't see my dad getting excited about an AR. If I could put something into his hands with a real wood stock and a bolt handle, he would really be digging it. I think it would be like giving a Harley rider a brand new crotch rocket. :) I've sent some emails to barrel makers and am waiting to hear back. It does seem like the chamber reamers for 45 Raptor (460 Improved) are on lock down by a patent from "Raptor Shooting Systems" though. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
