Custom Savage 12FV - Criterion .223 7-Twist Barrel in B&C Stock Inlet by CDI

[indianasavage]

Just swapped out the factory barrel for the 1 in 7" twist Criterion 28" in .223 from Northland Shooters Supply. Really love this barrel. Groups 75 grain bullets at 1/2 MOA. Running the Hornady ELD-Match at 2950 FPS.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/axD8_buMILqv3OoCYlGwdfh7ydiOFE-1e2fVYXIAlgwLDrU6SSJIa1BSehNuvTfRrfRmf5rYsdVlNHHi9 soKr8XPTPJXAjr9T0jrNaR8zcs-tHLpW11dPMLYLSA13pCYTyJA7jyyeu3XYRXQY6cC2yLs6g-QBne_QonOtjfmzEWsr2DCJQOuw_29ySQe7tWQAa7FBlm0QO0AB g4HAI5vKczA3-1KOvTiunQx8QAKqu_2uvN6MVPb3kARYXmwyFRkWhb4TBoZ0A7p EjfsXjdxUP3IVLo5rFl6gzHd3HuN3LuSrYYf8kTEmbIdkpxkJu MyzTnwsmohvaPdl363v5cz9H9JIzqh65_H924T5Co_Osl0a0fa G0rorbCbqmdnq_1b9_1MVEq7XhMYuA7xT8SqkeR3C2QPIjfI1d 1qYcQ7ntU2aqUwG6owlI2gb-cOQeD_l6FdW3g-GXtyvJC2CO2OFblO6ThFRMkkcD2pR6Uo4u3OtBJ7U4dJziVe5b sjVdCjSATeoQJHtTmq8tywvkcopl5RHP3KghfpahYafPlcaDK4 rIYvUOk6n08q0wLes8V1J1l5XSlvKv5bC30xPBo7YrHvzAkA-Ai05_m-MwxkBDx1FYxrqzOYRNzDvyY7NMJmc1h1ARbXKg2BupoW016wtX ruONd0-oYxBSXQiOaz6T7lSmy1=w1390-h924-no

Gotta love those Criterion barrels. With some break in you may see 1/4 MOA accuracy with the right loads.

That's a shooter. You likely have room to run those 75 ELDs at a higher node if you so choose.

With the high BC of the 75 AMAX and velocity a touch north of 3100fps (30" tube), my ballistics on paper pretty much equal my 6BR and 308 Palma loads out to 600 yards.

I would say there’s definitely room for improvement from your barrel. I recently got a 6CM barrel from NSS and with around 45 rounds down the tube, I was seeing .33 moa 5 shot groups with factory prime and Hornady loadings. I have some 110 gr SMKs to work up a load with soon.
