Reeder Custom Guns - 257 Raptor Length

I am considering having Gary rebarrel my CZ 527 to the .257 Raptor and was wondering if the magazine will be long enough to work with it. It appears the longest round I could fit in the mag would be 2.32” overall. Would that give me sufficient room to be effective?

to see if they will fit. The Raptor is based on the 204 case so you should be able to find a bullet that will fit when seated to the cannelure.

JFP is a fantastic bullet that I use in .255 Banshee revolver shooting and single shots. It was actually made for the .25-20 Win. The bullet has a very short ojive. Also the commercial .25-20 bullets some produce, even powder coated would make for a short round and give great performance to 200 yds. at least. I've shot some 87 gr. FPGC in the .256 Raptor to 2600 fps! That's a 13" TC.

in my 257 Raptor at a length of 2.615”. I don’t know if that helps. It depends on what bullet you use. I also load to about 0015” off the lands.
