Hey guys. Newest wildcat cartridge feeds, cycles, and ejects great.
It's a shortened 308 case, necked up to .375 that is fired from an AR-15.
300 grain at 1000 fps for a spooky quiet subsonic, or a 200 grain at 2200 fps for a nice hog and whitetail load.
Problem is the mags. 223 mags don't work at all.
7,62x39 mags feed nicely, but because they're not quite wide enough to doublestack the 308 based cartridge, they bulge in the middle. This makes it a bit of an effort to insert into the gun, and ejecting a mag with rounds in it is nearly impossible.
I was wondering about a few solutions:
458 socom or 450 bushmaster mags.
The problem is, I'm not sure whether they're perfectly single stacked, or slightly staggered.
If I assume that they're trying to maximize capacity with a slightly staggered design, then they should work great.
But if they're designed to be perfectly single stacked, then the internal width is probably reduced, which won't help.
Anyone happen to know what AR mag would have the widest internal width?
Needs to be just slightly wider than the 7,62 AR mags.
Alternatively, any 7,62x39 mags that are actually built sturdy enough not to bulge in the middle?
The one I'm using currently is the "AR-stoner" brand
