Sounds like you guys are doing some great work. The comparison of the Raptor to the Whelen is at least reasonable when bringing something unknown to light. The whole purpose of the Raptor is to deliver similar ballistics from a shorter SA platform which is a very worthwhile endeavor. I very recently picked up a 9.3x57mm Mauser and haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but the ballistics are nearly identical, but again, the Raptor does it from a SA. The option to go semiautomatic is very cool. All I can say is keep it up and keep sharing the developments here
Thank you kind Sir...
I am hopeful that the 93Jimbo (named after a GREAT FRIEND that passed last Thanksgiving) will surpass the .375 Raptor (which I highly respect... i.e. Arne is BRILLIANT).
I am hoping to proof out the Most Powerful .473 (.308 parent) cartridge ever devised. 500 yard on elk... kinda thing.
We will be making reamers and dies... I already have 2,000 bullets (Lapua and Norma)... we will use 358W Starline brass.
The reamers will be available to anyone (no surcharge) if we succeed.
Jimbo was THAT GREAT of a man... and friend.
