Morning everyone, hope you all have a great Thanksgiving day with Friends and Family and hopefully some hunting time as well!!
wanted to do an information poll and see what your guys opinion would be on some new APS wildcat options.
i am considering very seriously pulling the trigger on some new additions to my Stalker line up. I already have the 25 Stalker, 26 Stalker and 27 Stalker.
all based on the 300 norma Mag parent case, necked down and fireformed to my APS case design. These are extremely high performance wildcats and have performed well beyond my original design goals.
i am considering adding three more to the Stalker family, 28 Stalker, 30 Stalker and 34 Stalker. These would all be high performance options as well bit a step back from the 7mm Allen Mag, 300 Allen Xpress and 338 Allen Xpress Which at times make some a bit nervous with a bit shorter barrel life then what some are wanting, although, if used and cared for properly, even the mighty 7mm Allen Mag lasts a surprisingly long time.
Based off what i am seeing with my Lapua based wildcats, these three new ones should compare very similarly to each other. The 28 Stalker will likely be the most potent ballistically. The 30 Stalker will be very good ballistically, a little more authoritative terminally and have the advantage of being able to fire factory 300 norma mag ammunition. The 34 Stalker would have the longest barrel life, should be excellent. It would also be the best choice for heavier game and again, could also fire 338 norma mag factory ammo in a pinch if i decide to set it up that way and leave the neck/shoulder junction the same as the factory.
so opinions wanted, which would you most be interested in?
also, a project i started years back i am going to try to finish up this spring. My 36 Allen Xpress and 360 Allen Magnums. Have been sitting on these test barrels and reamers for a few years now with no time to get the development and testing done. Hope to do that this spring. The 36 Allen Xpress is based on the 338 lapua case, basically splitting the difference between my very popular 338 Allen Xpress and my heavy hitter, the 375 Allen Xpress. We are seeing enough new options in projectiles that i feel this would be a very viable option now.
the 360 Allen Magnum is based on the 408 CT parent case. Will be working with some bullet makers to get a good design to work in this very large case. Again the goal is to combine the best aspects of the 338 Allen Magnum and 375 Allen Magnum to get a better all around design. Should be a beast and hopefully released by summer 2024.
thanks guys, let me know your opinions on the new Stalker wildcats.
