Not I but I have done some reading on it as I considered it over a 450 Bushmaster. The general consensus is the Raptor offers some benefits in speed and trajectory, but the added headache of sourcing cases and limited bullet options loses out to the 450. It's one of those calibers that popped up but is quickly dying meaning ammo and or the ability to reload will get increasingly difficult as time goes on. Not really worth it for only gaining one inch less of drop at 200 yards.

I built one, it's a devastating round. Shot two deer with it so far. They both fell where I shot them. There's about 5 companies that you can buy rounds from ,but the best round is what you can load. You can get brass from Starline. The barrel from Saturn machinery. If you already have a ar10 ,for about 450 or (prices are always going up) so . You can have a bad rifle.
