[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 1705510, member: 10"] The 131 blackjacks would be a varmint bullet at the velocity levels the 25 Stalker can produce. Its specifically designed for a 25 creedmore class velocity. 25-06 should be fine, a 257 wby would seriously stress it. Production 25 Stalker rifles will likely have a 7 twist barrel for use specifically for the 128 gr. Hammer Hunter. I have tested that bullet on several big deer in the past with great results but even at the speed of the 25 Stalker, needs the 7 twist for proper terminal performance. They will shoot accurately with less rpms but when they penetrate a big game animal, they need the rpms to stay on point and penetrate straight. I tested them in my old 257 Allen Magnum on a couple big canadian whitetails and they worked great. [ATTACH=full]148073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]148074[/ATTACH] Watch this video, at 0:38 you will see a 128 gr. Hammer do its work on the above whitetail from 450 yards. [MEDIA=youtube]5dc41a7DA8w[/MEDIA] Loaded them to 3500 fps in a 26” barrel. Pretty mild load as i was not sure how they would handle the speed terminally. Would think the 25 Stalker would get them up to 3700 fps easy enough. That is the plan for production 25 Stalkers. They could still use the accubond or barnes bullets also. [/QUOTE]
