Has anybody tried the new bullets from CRT?

I have recieved mine but havn't loaded or fired them yet. They look really nice anyways. I am in the process of making a new stock for my savage 12FV, and I am waiting to do any more load testing until it is finished as the flexy plastic stock just isn't great for bench shooting. Oh, and I am using hand tools for all the shaping and inletting so it is going slooow!

I am hoping to have it "bench ready" in a couple weeks (I've got maybe 40 hours into it already) and I will do some serious testing. I want to start with RL-10x but can't find any data (for the 35 berger). Guess I will use linear interpolation and work up to max slowly

Totally off topic, but Neal... I just recently shaped, inletted and finished this stock by hand for one of my R700 actions. I know exactly what you are going through right now. The devil is in the details! There is a good chance I'll be inletting a "flat top" synthetic stock for a Savage here shortly. Are you doing a single-shot action?

Wow Trent that is one beautiful stock! Great job! My action is a repeater in center feed, but I want this to be more of a bench/varmint stock so I ordered one of the single shot followers from Sharp Shooters Supply

. I always single feed off the bench anyways so this should make life easier.

Just beginning the inletting:

About 15 hours later:

Heres the pillar/devcon bedding job before any cleanup:

A fun (yet time consuming) project for sure! acloco-Didn't mean to hijack your thread!

Trent,

That is some fabulous looking wood and nice job on the rifle!

Trent.....wow, nice job! If she shoots as good as she looks, that is/will be one sweet rifle.

Hedge: Lookin' good bud, looking forward to seeing her when she's "bench-ready". Should be wicked on ground rats, and look good doin' it too.

On topic: I've got a small sample of the new CRT 34's, but haven't had a chance to load/fire any just yet. I'm looking forward to trying some in both my 20VT with RL-7 and in one of my 204's with 10X....most likely my Cooper M21 MTV. I'd like to hear any forum feedback on them too.......
