I am sure the Raptor is a mean bullet. I may need to study on that.
My interest in the 420gr hard cast and above is not for hunting, not for target shooting, not for plinking not for anything but busting a bear at probably under 50 yards strictly in self defense. Because at 100 yards I am hunting not self defending.
My experience with both HSM Bear and BB heavy +P is that they kick like a mule but are also quite accurate. I do not know how they would be in a 1,000 yard target shoot but I know they are not tumbling at the ranges I have tried them out to 200 plus yards from my SBL.
I just want to home load my own with a 420ish gr hard cast at about the same power level as the HSM Bear which is a +P but not quite as stout as the heavy BB or similar loads with a bullet that feeds reliably and at a COLA that meets SAMI spec of 2.550 length.
I do not like the idea of shooting copper jacket bullets in my SBL that has seen only lead cast.
