D Smith, I went with 450BM....I had a reason for not going with the Raptor...but I can't remember what that was now lol.


The raptor looks to be a smidge faster. But, for my uses, I can't see that ever making a difference.



I was able to scrounge up dies, powder and brass. Have primers. Waiting on the barrel. Probably at least least few more weeks yet. Pretty excited to get it all together. I think its gunna make a cool little hammer.
