after all the Taurus bashers are done... does anyone know how they are overcoming the case set back issue that is normal from bottlenecked cartridges???

I have a close cousin, a Raging Hornet, & while I never had setback issues with my gun, the tapers are quite different ( & likely the pressures )... as far as function, my Hornet worked just fine... I didn't particularly care for how muzzle heavy it was with the 10" full under lug barrel, & the lil 22 bore... I'd suspect the 223 gun would be just as muzzle heavy...

I converted mine to a 6" fast twist Hornet with the addition of a Dan Wesson 6" barrel shroud, & a chunk of 1 in 9" twist 223 barrel
