    .223 Rifle Build

    I threw a criterion 223 barrel on my TL3 and it’s been an absolute pleasure coming off my 308 in the same setup. It’s currently a Zermatt TL3, Accurate mags, 26” 7wt criterion with there match chamber sitting in either a PRS1 or TCS depending on what I’m using it for and chucks 75ELD-Ms at 2920

    New Manners TCS-MAX

    The team always get some slick stuff for T&E, I remember seeing those on a couple photos of the team shooters rifles.

    New Manners TCS-MAX

    I like the sikes rail they did with the m-lok, wish they offered it as an option on the normal TCS

    New Manners TCS-MAX

    Think it’s worth getting over the standard TCS since you’ve got both? I wanted to get another TCS to have twins between my CF and RF before they released the max. Now with the max being more nose heavy it caught my attention but the price jump and needing bottom metal are kinda off putting.

    Zermatt Action Wrench?

    Pretty much any Remington wrench will work as long as you pull the mechanical ejector and for the rimx you’ve got to pull the ejector anyways since you need to check the headspace which the no go gauge they supply.

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    I think I ordered my TCS late August and payed the invoice in mid February, so not terrible but still took a while

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    I’ve been able to get .5” groups if do my part with the ELD-M’s but most have been like .7” or smaller. I haven’t really worked up a load since I just hit 150ish rounds down the barrel, so I’m thinking it’ll shirk a bit more once I get them dialed in better.

    What's the Go-To 223 Brass Now?

    I could have sworn they did but after looking over the interwebs last night it appears they didn’t, it’s seems 223 “match” brass isn’t really a popular thing for the premier brass makers. I know lapua, norma, and starline all make it with a slight bias towards match performance but the other...

    What's the Go-To 223 Brass Now?

    I’ve been run starline for my current project, since I couldn’t find alpha or Peterson when I was ordering components a while back.

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    Northland is a great company to deal with and they keep a good variety of stuff on the shelf. I wanted a bull contour in 24” but didn’t want the lead time, so I called up northland and had a 26” to my door in under a week.

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    I’ve been getting mine dialed in and it eat the 73gr GMM like a champ while throwing rounds through it before going to deep into load development with a fresh barrel. I’ve even run hornady 55 fmj’s through it with pretty good results considering the jump they are doing. The couple powder...

    223/for distance

    I remember getting my 6creed spun up and being like I’m gonna pushing 105’s at Mach Jesus, then after a season of abusing it I realized that I didn’t need to push them so hard. Now I’m happy running stuff in the 2800-2900 range, saves me powder and doesn’t torch my barrel but I’ll admit pushing...

    223/for distance

    That’s fair, I think my 6creed was up there but I dialed it back

    Thought it was 3200 with a 10% fluctuation for equipment variable

    223/for distance

    I’ve heard the 85.5 bergers are the cats meow for open with a 223, just expensive but what isn’t these days

    223 freebore - Factory ammo jump

    I think the freebore on mine is .100 and it seems to chuck factory stuff without much thought. Granted I’ve just been running 73gr GMM through it for factory stuff.
