cheap-bastidge Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Since my PA10 in .308 turned out so nice, I have been recently thinking about how well the platform would work for branching out to a more interesting caliber..... Has anyone here thought about putting together another upper for something a little more interesting, like a 45 raptor, or other heavy hitting cartridge? say a .458 winchester magnum could be quite fun.

98Z5V Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) .458 Win Mag is out. Not gonna happen, with a Long Action cartridge in a Short Action upper and lower receiver. Edited October 4, 2018 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap-bastidge Posted October 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Nemo made a custom long action and does 300 win mag with it, they did a few one off 458 models, but yeah, PA10 is not going to accept a long action cartridge. Still, there are some other options that would fit. Edited October 5, 2018 by cheap-bastidge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 45 Raptor, 338 Federal, 308-416. You reload? 338 Federal is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I have a friend with a one off AR10T “B”model rifle in 338 Federal. Already has a triple lapped medium heavy target barrel. Never been shot. Wonder if I should talk to him about selling? Edited October 6, 2018 by Sisco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheap-bastidge Posted October 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I have been giving serious thought to the 45 raptor option, that should work with little fuss at all. Still, I already load for .458 winmag, but that is a single shot encore pistol and it is hell to shoot. Don't get me wrong it's awesome, but definitely punishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
