I noticed that. It should give me a place to start on my 270gr Speers, which are the cheapest bullet I have.If you scroll through the pages on RobEmm's post above, you will find the original data for 10X from the 375 Raptor page. It was considered one of the go to powders for .375.
Isn't that starline's job, lolI would think a person could resell the brass they didn't need pretty easy.
Yeah, $5k on brass and hoping people would buy it is a stretch for me.Isn't that starline's job, lol
The minimum Starline will do is 50,000 cases and there's an additional retooling cost. (In this case the retooling cost would already be covered.)Isn't that starline's job, lol

I would prefer converting brass at that price/qty.
It sounds like that will be possible. I think Black Collar Arms got in on the deal. I know those guys like the raptor. I should know more soon.250 @ $1 per.
Buy Qty goes up as price per case goes down.
You might need to file the base of your die so it bumps the shoulders more. Or the smith needed to run the reamer in a thou or two fartherIt sounds like that will be possible. I think Black Collar Arms got in on the deal. I know those guys like the raptor. I should know more soon.
Hey, I have a question for you reloaders.
Both my Lee die and my CH4D die (375 Raptor) barely size the shoulder back far enough. My die is set so the shellholder contacts the die, and then the press cams over.
I have to have a stouter cam over in order for the case to then pass my case gauge, otherwise the case sticks out of the upper limit of the case gauge. Not by much, but enough to catch a straight edge.
I would like to be able to size the case to more in the middle of the headspace dimensions.
I also feel like I am working the press harder than needed, but maybe that's not a concern.
I am new to reloading, so I worry I am missing something. Something could be out of spec (I know it could be the shellholder) but I hope it's just user error.
Any thoughts on what to double check? I hope I explained the issue well enough. I will try to post some pictures when I get home.

I would be interested in getting about 350 cases.The minimum Starline will do is 50,000 cases and there's an additional retooling cost. (In this case the retooling cost would already be covered.)
They don't mess with trying to sell wildcat cases in small amounts, which is understandable.
Just curious, how many cases would you be willing to get if you could get any quantity?
They are headstamped 375 Raptor.
Shave .001-.002” off your shell holderIt sounds like that will be possible. I think Black Collar Arms got in on the deal. I know those guys like the raptor. I should know more soon.

You might look into a 2-something power scope.Finally complete, other than scope choice. Just took this one off my CVA Scout. Did my best to support as many manufacturers as possible in this build.
AB Raptor 10 is still in jail & patiently waiting for a seating die. Any thoughts on a sight? Been thinking 1-8 LVPO.

I have a 14” x-caliber with carbine length gas. My superlative arms cycles subs with the gas at 6 clicks into bleed off mode(24 total). I don’t think you will have trouble with carbine gas on a 12” barrel. You would run into dwell time issues on a 10” with carbine gas.completely new to this forum, but came here specifically for this thread. I'm making the dive into 375 raptor, so don't have anything built yet, but the CH4D dies are in hand, so I'm committed. One of AB's raptor cans will be added, considering the BOGO they've got going on right now, but the only other real requirement I am putting on myself is that I want it to be a gas AR at about 10-12" barrel so the OAL isn't very long. Hoping to avoid a bolt, so I'd be happy to get a 18-20 barrel with whatever gas length is needed so I could have reliable cycling/lock back.
With that in mind, I know there was a bit of discussion on a carbine gas cycling, but is there a general consensus on what gas length's are good to cycle 400gr subs, meaning I need a bit longer barrel than I'd like? The 375raptor.com is down enough for me that I can't find what I thought I was reading, but I thought they were saying we could run shorter barrels - I just can't remember if they were talking about AR platform or bolts.
Sorry if this is a bit nonsensical/rambly, but since I'll definitely be shooting both supers/subs (emphasis on subs), I prefer not to make a mistake before putting the barrel order in. Thanks!
An adjustable gas block will be needed for sure, I would think.completely new to this forum, but came here specifically for this thread.

I have been wanting a Riflespeed for my 308.I would look for a barrel length/ gas length combination that fits a Riflespeed adjustable gas block because I suspect the pressure difference is between 400 grain subsonics and 270 grains supersonics is going to be much more drastic than something like a 300 blackout. I could see where you would need to change your gas settings in between ammo. I don't think there's a gas block out there that does it better than a rifle speed. You just have to configure your rail system, barrel length and gas port so that you get a little bit of its adjusting collar ahead of the forearm and behind the suppressor.
It would make a lot of things much easier if you can do a .750 contour at the muzzle and gas block; 5/8 threads. Maybe I'm steering you wrong. I'll be quiet and see how this turns out. Let us know, I'm curious now.I was thinking that originally, but straight from AB's website - "All reflexes are made out of premium titanium, have a 1.625” diameter and have a 5/8-24 mount." That's what made me thing a thinner barrel would be OK, and MosTek's barrel profile options do list several with a .74 at the muzzle/shoulder, and .85 before the block. I printed off everything from the 375 raptor website, and couldn't find anything that mentioned this concern outside of the designers saying to have the barrel threaded 3/4x24 (sounds good), but then Black Collar recommends the AB heavily.
Leaves me thinking "WTF, I'm dumb", but starting with a call to AB to see if they make a reflex with 3/4 threading makes sense.
Nope, that photo of the adapter puts my mind at ease, and I'll just go with the bull barrel and bigger gas block, then hope that riflespeed finishes up their testing and releases that line by the time the barrel finds me so I can play with a new block. Thanks, gents!AB only does 5/8 reflex mounts, but they also have adapters for 3/4 (like mine above) and 1/2.
Sorry for the delay. I didn't get a notification about new posts on this thread.
You might already know this, but in case you don't, if your barrel diameter near the muzzle is larger than 3/4" then you will want to order a bull size reflex.Well, maybe not a bull profile, but larger than .74
Absolutely, you pointed that out earlier and the adapter being as big as it is made me think the larger barrel is needed, necessitating that thinner reflex. Thanks for the reminderYou might already know this, but in case you don't, if your barrel diameter near the muzzle is larger than 3/4" then you will want to order a bull size reflex.
The standard reflex won't fit a barrel diameter larger than 3/4".
We wouldn't have to worry about suppressor details, if the darn things werent so hard to get. I would love to be able to order additional reflex mounts, but the ATF won't let AB do that. Oh, well.Absolutely, you pointed that out earlier and the adapter being as big as it is made me think the larger barrel is needed, necessitating that thinner reflex. Thanks for the reminder
I think you're correct, at least according to silencer shops website. Hopefully that's the case, but hell yeah, we should be able to buy more reflexes. I view them as more of a proprietary muzzle device, but I'm sure it has to do with the description of the reflex acting as a "sacrificial baffle" and the extra volume permanently attached to the rear of the reflex.We wouldn't have to worry about suppressor details, if the darn things werent so hard to get. I would love to be able to order additional reflex mounts, but the ATF won't let AB do that. Oh, well.
One additional note on the reflex, I believe they will let you swap reflexes as long as you DON'T shoot with it.
Once mine got approved, I tried it out on all my rifles before I shot through it, in case I needed a different reflex.
I would be interested in 250-500Would anyone be interested in a large order (maybe 5000) of 375 raptor casings?
I know someone who is entertaining the idea of putting an order into Starline. But they are wanting to try to break up the order a bit.
It's more than what I can commit to, but I figured I would put the word out.
Keep us posted on the results!!Looks like I will be grinding the shellholder. Flat surface, sandpaper, and a gentle touch. Sounds easy enough.
Thank you.
