NEW 20 Caliber 37 Grain Bullets

Post by wirelessguy2005 »

For anyone interested we now have our 37 Grain HP FB Bullets available. Like the 34 and 40 grain bullets our 37's utilize a small hollow point to aid in a higher BC. The price is $25.99 per hundred and don't forget that the 10% discount coupon is good thru this weekend on all purchases.

I think I may try some of the 37s. That weight should do well in my barrel.
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.

I have been receiving some great feedback from customers on the new 37 grain bullets. Hopefully some of them will post up their experiences here.

Brad -

what is the BC on your bullets? G7 or G1?

Can't tell from the pic whether they have a tangent or secant ogive.

If you have the time, it would be nice to have some details about your bullets on your web site.

Tnx.

Thank You for the inquiry on our bullets. I will work to get some additional details up on the website.

Great! :yeah:

Might help you get more customers if they have bullet specs to compare with. :)

Thanks, Brad.

Didn't see the BC on the site. It will help shooters in predicting trajectory.

Those 37 grainers look good. Reckon I'll order some. :)

I ordered and received some of Brads CRT 37gr. bullets and let say that they are the most accurate bullets I've shot out of my 204 so far. It took exactly 3 loads to get all holes touching what ever that size measures to. The first load of 27.0 IMR8208XBR was just slightly over a 1/2". 27.2 tightened the 3 shot group up with 2 touching. 27.4 of 8208 had 2 that cut each other and the 3rd. one was touching the first 2. I repeated this 2 more times. While that may not be as good for the heavy barrel rifles, this was out of my Kimber Montana with a Leupold VX3 2.5-8X36 scope all of which weighs 6lb. 4oz in hunting mode.
39gr. Sierra's and 40gr Hornady's I could never get much under an inch with, but that is ok as I do not like plastic tipped bullets. It must be an age thing. :lol:
I'll be trying the 37's out on Coyotes this season to see how they work. Hopefully they won't exit.

Do not hesitate to try some of Brads 37's. They are darn accurate.

You should call them "open tip match" bullets (OTM) instead of "small hollowpoint." That's the term DoD uses for hollowpoint sniper rifle ammo so's the Anarchy International dimwits don't get their knickers in a twist.

Thank You for the compliments on the 37 grain bullets.

Like I stated earlier, I really like the accuracy of these 37's. Now to get a Coyote to demonstrate their main ability. ;)
Here's 4, 3 shot groups I shot confirming that the load or my shooting was not a fluke and I had to get the scope zeroed a little better too.

I know that the groups aren't that impressive, but the rifle is my Coyote/Fox rifle that only weighs 6lbs. 4oz. all setup ready to hunt. The scope is a Leupold VX3 2.5-8X36, so it isn't a full bore target/varmint scope. Besides, the black portion of the bullseye is 1 inch, so I'm thinking maybe the groups are ok for Coyote sniping. :chin:

And not to forget the 6lb. wonder.............. :D

These bullets look like they would be perfect for my Coyote rifle. Too bad the shipping rates to Canada are out too lunch. :chin:

No, lead cup & draw HP's.

If you need lead-free, give the Nosler BTLF's a try, they work great in my 223's, 204's and 20 VarTarg. Same accuracy, VERY explosive on varmints.
