But Rob, the Barnes makes a much prettier picture. :)

Depends on what you are taking a photo of I guess!

So that hole must be from the CED bullet out of your .223?  Pretty cool. 8)

No, he said the .224's wouldn't shoot out of his 14 twist.

Thats a 3 inch hole after neck a pass through from a little over 100 yards with a 375 HH CEB BBW#13.

little bit bigger than a 223, but an exit hole that is 8x the diameter of the bullet is not to shabby!

They would not shoot out of my 22.250 due to the twist, but shot really well out of my 223WSSM.  Thats OK, .243 is the legal minimum in WY for pronghorn anyway.

How have the other Raptors shot for you?

I have not played with them much.  I loaded some in in 300 WM and they shot well, but I think 130 grains is a bit light for a 300 WM.

As soon as I get some time I plan to load up some 338 WM, and 375 HH Raptors.  Ironically I don't really have much in 30 cal. so I am not sure what I will load up with the 308 raptors.  I suppose I could do a load 30/30-according to the guys on AR, the Raptors turn the 30/30 into a whole new rifle.

(again, photos are from Michael458 on the Accurate reolading forum)

Hehehe, you gotta love CEB. I can't wait to test the 6.5, .224 and .458 Raptors on Groundhogs this spring. I just picked up a Rem700 just to try the .224 Raptors in a bolt gun.
