Another Criterion Success Story

[Hondo64d]

I’ve had four Criterion Barrels, every one of them being better shooters than any other brand I’ve had. One of them was the heavy varmint contour, the other two light varmint contour. I observed that my light varmint .308 and 22-250 barrels grouped as well as my heavy varmint contour 6.5x47 barrel, so I thought for the 4th I’d try a light varmint 6.5x47 to see what’s up. It has not disappointed, grouping every bit as good as the heavy varmint contour.

Here’s two five shot groups shot during load development. They are consecutive charges .4gr apart. The first measured .356” and the second .346”. When I overlaid the aiming points, the ten shots completely overlapped, clustering 10 shots into .4”.

I’m thinking my next one might be the heavy sporter contour...

I love Criterion Barrels...

Nice. Says as much about the shooter as well.

I’ve liked my cbi 6xc so far. I chronod my first 100 shots on it , 39 gr h4350 as a project of sorts and I couldn’t observe any speed increase. I was pretty disappointed that didn’t take more breaking in (if you can imagine that). I should have started load development right off the bat on it.

Are you using a prefit barrel? What action?

Yes, Criterion Savage prefits on Shilen DGR action in MPA BA Lite chassis.
