10-4 and also speaking to Pitted Bore's assertions. Early on, I tried this, and was rewarded with 100% splits at the base, the worst possible place.
You can open up a 308 for .451" bullets. After all, stretch a 45 ACP case and you end up at a .308 Winchester case. But then you've induced more problems than you might care to overcome, none the less "Extremely" poor feeding reliability, from an AR Mag. (Maybe with a dedicated mag, with a dedicated Mag Well, maybe, maybe, maybe! If you do one mod, that leads to a dozen others!).
It is my knowledge that the 45 Rapture, has as it's parent case the .308win. As I said, I did this years ago, and personally rejected the idea, due to reliability/saftey issues, among just some of the many negative issues.
I'm not going to say anything to the Raptor Guys, because their Customers will do all of the telling, making us look exceedingly good.
My Recommendation, is not unlike the Dawgs here.."Going down this street is fraught with danger" (as described)!! To say nothing of Heart-Break. I for one, Recommend that you stay away from the .308 case, in these endeavors, unless of course you are a Mad Scientist, with a lab, and capable of containing safety issues..
