Yeah, I remember when the 45 Raptor came out, there were a lot of people having pressure issues. Like Al, they would end up below or right at the 450B. Then looking at the guys who could push past that, they weren't getting much more than what we can push the 450B up to (past book loads). On top of that, it was in an AR10/LR308 platform. Didn't really see the point. I was looking at maybe going 45 Vrap, but again, not a huge difference for what the 450B is capable of. Just an FYI, the 45 Vrap is the 45 Raptor in an AR15 using over sized bolts and barrel extensions, which you can't find.
For the AR10/LR308 frame, I was thinking about the 450 Legendre Mag. However, at that energy level, might as well run something in .458 so you don't have to size bullets. Now though, KAK has Magnum bolts available for the AR10/LR308 (which is what I assume Biggdawg is going to be using for his 500 WTF), so that opens up wildcats on the WSM cases.
