In a bolt action there is no advantage of the Raptor over the 450 BM. They can both be loaded equally. ARs are what keeps the BM loaded to low levels.



Those 45's are good choices and heavy hitters but the 350 will get the job done handsomely for Ohio. The 350 is not too big for the 223 case as it has been catted as the 357 AR for a few years now (on the 223 case) however Winchester kept the rim diameter the same but increased body enough to make it proprietary. A fella could buy basic Starline and have virtually the same thing but Legend ammo is readily available now (no brainer). CMMG has AR mags available as this is written, also AR barrels and turnkey Ruger Americans are coming on line making this a really easy way to have a straight walled setup that has more power than a 30-30 and is easily a 200+ yd. rig. The marketing department is making this one easy to do for folks in the straight all predicament...
