    Get the thumbhole version and that type of rupture won't happen .
    Also bedding the action into the new stock might help to distribute the recoil force more evenly and limit the beginning of a crack.

    agree with your thoughts on the thumbhole version @Friwi . . . the ordinal stock almost seems to be designed to amplify recoil & muzzle flip.

    thumbhole should be a help getting the recoil coming back more in a straight line, better head position etc . . . good news its fixable and probably something you would want to do later anyway

    could we see some pics @Rich007 of your molds & bullets you got with the gun . . . R
    without a picture . .. it never happened !

    Here are some pics of what I came with the gun.

    In terms of the moulds what/how do you want them photographed?
