Title: Maximum Projectile length for JSAR Raptor Magazine?
Post by: UnderPressure on April 13, 2020, 06:52:31 PM
I've seen claims of .750" length but then at the same time I have seen claims it will not fit the .716" Neilsen 85 grain .257.

So how long of a slug can it hold?

Is it like the Marauder magazine where maximum length is higher for pointed projectiles like the Polymag and lower for large meplat projectiles like the Neilsen .257.

Can it be modified to accept longer projectiles (particularly pointed tip ones like the one linked below) by grinding some material out of it?

.25 Raptor mag is .722 thick. Inside of the mag is about .500 deep
If using an SST you have .650 from the barrel to the end of the breech.  Hope this helps BTY, .25 cal 55gr NSA slugs are .46 long
