[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1327396, member: 2736"] The 460 S&W is a rimed case and the 45 Raptor is a rimless case and head spaces on the case mouth like the 45 ACP. Here is a link that should answer your questions. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45_Raptor[/URL] J E CUSTOM I head spaced on the rim and cut an extractor relief so The rifle could shoot the 460 ammo and the 454 plus the 45 long colt. I did not want to have to trim the cases every time I loaded to maintain head space on such a powerful cartridge. and with straight sided cases this is very important. I looked at the 45 Raptor but decided against the rimless case for the reasons I mentioned. If I didn't already have a 460 S&W pistol I would probably have chosen the 450 Marlin for the power and head space control. Just My opinion and choice for a large and legal cartridge for states that have restrictions on large bore cartridges/rifles. Here is the chamber dimensions.
