The resulting COAL of 2.300" is only 1.02 mm longer than the maximum COAL for chambering a cartridge in the smaller AR-15; however, the 45 Raptor chamber pressure is allowed to be as high as 62,000 PSI. This means that the stronger AR-10 receiver and bolt carrier group is needed for shooting this cartridge.
