But! Not beating a .450 LM

Oh dear, I was thinking about putting the 450 BM into my CA10..........might have another cunning plan on the horizon for Terminator Products

I read about this a few weeks ago and thought to myself, "why not a 450LM instead if this?" Interesting concept but nothing better than we have with the 450 bm or the optional 450LM.

Is the Raptor just a 450 LM? Is this a patent piracy or what?

Yup and I have the paper work to handle it.

But this is something I rejected long ago. The mag Will-Not hold the cartridges very well. With a full mag slapped into the offside hand, the cartridges dump from the mag. And it being a kind-of a rimless 460... the case working back and forth (.473 to.480), in the sizing operation is to assure no more than three reloads and usually allot less. I for one hate incipient case head separations. I've been hurt by them. To say nothing to destroying the equipment.

This is a great exercise for the uninitiated, but for the Professional it is folly. I do have some cures and one day, I'll get to them, but even then it'll only prolly be a custom proposition..

That is a pure smack in the face "T" I hope you sue them good and the writer. I can't believe he had the gual to say it had quite a thump to it. There is only one true Thumper and we all know who invented it.

Nah, BBS..

I'm not the suing kind. All three/year that they'll make, makes suing a kind of non-sequitur (I'm trying to impress Hoot again). The profits from three or so weapons, won't pay for the lawyers they'll need when their customers start suing them for producing such tripe. No, if 308 length cartridge is in your dreams, give me the LM and it's far Superior Performance and total reliability. Right Gunny?!?!

Witness, Gunny Here showing the way. After he loads the mag NOTICE that he bangs the mag on the table without the cartridges dumping from the mag, which happened every-time I tried such tests using 308 cases, mated to a 45cal bullets from any magazine designed for pure 308's. The LM is not only Reliable, it out performs the 458WM! Try that with the Rupture (Wink)!

The Rupture (wink), to me, is a "Buyer-Beware" preposition. Believe me, It would be fun to shoot, but in my "Minds Eye", this conversion has "ISSUES". Maybe you don't mind and maybe you really-really would mind. Pick your Poison..
