That plastic tip adds a lot of length in a short action. I’ve thought of turning it off in a lathe? I think the standard all metal bullet design is better for large calibers. Really what am I going to gain with a BT in my little carbine?
My 416 B&M is based on the WSM action. The case is 2.240, from RUM brass. I am not having any issues at all with the 225s seated as you saw in the photo, COL is shorter than the 3 inches required for the magazine box and action............Oh wait, I didn't show a full photo of the loaded B&M .......That plastic tip adds a lot of length in a short action.
Thank you, what is the Length of the Raptor bullets with the tip?My 416 B&M is based on the WSM action. The case is 2.240, from RUM brass.

You should not have any issues loading it in a WSM case.....
1.320" and you can remove the tip. You are correct, you might have issues if 1.250 is the max length of a bullet for your action. You are also correct I use nothing but Winchester M70 Control Feed guns, and they can take a 3" COL. When it comes to something other than a Winchester M70 I become rather ignorant.Thank you, what is the Length of the Raptor bullets with the tip?
It looks like you can put the tip on or off?
