Anyone familiar with suppressing this round? Fairly certain Bowerscans will work. Wondering if a Hybrid would handle it as well.

If your going for suppressed why not just use 450 Bushmaster on a standard AR-15 platform?  You don't need the extra case capacity of 45 Raptor for subsonic .452 bullets, even really heavy one.  Trailboss and 450 Bushmaster should work very nicely.  Getting it to cycle the subsonics, with either cartridge, might be a challenge but should be doable with proper porting and gas-block/regulator.

Fair point. I guess I didn't realize the 450 was a straight wall as well.

It is pretty straight, a slight taper, .500 at the base and .480 at the case mouth.  45 Raptor is pretty much dead straight.

I'll have to check that - all due to asinine restrictions on deer hunting cartridges.
