and someone just called and asked me about the 7 Raptor which reminded me. These are a few of the newer custom cartridges..left to right..244 GNR, 321 GNR, 470 GNR, 257 Firecat, 6.5 Raptor, 7 Raptor, and 30 Raptor. We have quite a few real new ones and I will get some pics of them in the next few days.

In the pic above the 244 GNR is a 327 Federal necked down to 6mm. The cartridge shown is not fireformed yet and will have the sharp 40 degree shoulder when it is fireformed. The 321 GNR is the 357 necked down to 32 and beats the 327 Federal by almost 800 FPS. The 470 GNR is a 500 Linebaugh necked down to 475 and beats the 475 Linebaugh considerably. It is one we developed for the Howdah single shot pistol. The 257 Firecat is also a non fireformed case. It too will have the sharp shoulder when fireformed. It isa 260 Remington case necked to 257 and was designed for the AR-15 but will work in any rifle or Encore. The next three are 3 of the 5 Raptor cartridges all based on the 204 case. These are surprisingly powerful and have taken big bodied deer out past 200 yards out of a Contender.

Will do a Trail Gun in 244 GNR...

have people asking for a special gun and I use that frame. Hopefully we will get to test it out real soon in a revolver and I will post it here. I designed it for the Howdah single shot but it would be a great cartridge for a revolver, so we will see.

Thanks Gary
