    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    I was able to actually shoot slow groups today and pull my target for measurements and I’ll say the match chamber with 80SMK’s definitely impressed me and even the 75ELD-M did pretty good. I’ll have to load some more to confirm the groups but for roughly 100 rounds through the tube it’s a strong...

    Looks sorta like the copperhead they used to offer in the elite tactical

    223 Wylde vs 223 Rem Match chamber?

    I’ve actually got two of those barrels, ones headed back to criterion for a little checkup and just screwed on the second one to break it in.

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    You didn’t like their match chamber? I’ve been playing around with it and it’s been pretty good to me thus far but then again I’m running stuff in the 2.46-2.48 range. I will say one barrel didn’t like the 75 ELD-M’s but loved the 73 OTM in GMM, that one’s currently headed back for a little...

    With a 26” “bull contour” from criterion with 2/3 of the weights in the rail I think I’m right around 23ish but I haven’t actually weighed it.

    School me on 223 AICS mags

    I like my accurate mags for 223, they are easy to modify to and are completely rebuild able in case something happens with the poly feedlips

    223 Rem Bolt/Trainer Loads

    I’m trying out 77SMK and 80SMK for this, tried 75ELD-M’s but couldn’t get that bullet to shot well enough with varget or Staball match, so figured I’d try something else.

    Strong action for high pressure 7mm Backcountry

    I definitely wouldn’t use the Winchester action, I’d probably go with something 3 lug to help distribute the higher pressure if you want to build some or get a factory rifle chambered in it like the seekins havak

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    The barrel has been scrubbed out, and it will be getting sent in for inspection by the manufacturer once I get the info I need from them.

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    Time to intercept something, but I don’t know what it is or where it’s going

    Rimfire Shooting, Same Signal, Different Noise

    Is there scaling for the 22 stuff, I thought I remembered hearing that there was something with gravity ballistics a while ago but I could be wrong.

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    That he is, but cleaning out the copper was on the todo list

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    It would appear I’m not the smartest person and didn’t get photos before I cleaned it all out. I did take some photos tonight of what looks like skipping near the chamber but again I could be and probably am wrong.

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    Yup, it’s shooting copper out the muzzle break and I completely missed that till you just pointed it out

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    That would be mildly depressing after the lead time and amount of money spent, but they probably would make it right.

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    I can upload some pictures once I get home, since they are still on the card for my scope or at least I hope I took pictures before cleaning the barrel last night.

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    I’ve had the same action in the PRS1 for years without any issue, plus I hope a TL3 isn’t banana shaped after a few years of use

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    Shouldn’t be since it’s sitting in a manners TCS with mini chassis but anything is possible at this stage. I might throw it in my spare PRS1 just to eliminate that variable. Haha Ozark meth head is a good analogy

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    I cleaned it about 100 rounds ago, scrubbed it out with bore tech copper remover and then some bore tech eliminator.

    Random copper 1/2-4/3 down the barrel

    So after chasing my tail with load development trying to get my current 223 rifle project all set, I ran a scope down the bore and noticed what looks like random copper fouling 1/2-3/4 through the barrel in a couple spots. It also looks like a possible rough patch in the bore but I can’t...
