Criterion prefits

Got my 6.5x47 from Jim today. Ordered it in heavy sporter with a recessed crown. I will post again when everything is up and running.

Im slow at getting my rifle set up correct. 7mm SAUM 28 in Large Shank Target action left port.


I really wanted H1000 to work pushing 162 gr amax's or 168 gr Bergers. Got 1 inch groups at best @ 100 yards. Ran lots of different charges and depth but really sucky.

Today I tried H4831sc at different bullet depths and it finnaly made a group. 3 shots @ 100 yards 3/8th inch. Now I have found an accuracy node and will work around it to make it better.

Its been kinda finicky to find the load, but I think Im on the right track. Hope friday to have more loads to test.

FYI this barrel cleans up VERY good. NO copper

[mattri]

Any short-mags in the future?

[Varget 7-08]

Is 8 weeks the average wait time?

[warbird]

took 14 weeks for me

[VjjR]

Monday will be 11 or 12 weeks for me but thats because they are perfecting a new fluting technique. so...

Criterion will be raising their pricing as of September 1st 2011. I do not have all of the details at this time but I have been advising customers that this day is coming and it now appears it is locked in as to when it will happen. More details as they develop.

Hi Jim,

What will be our 'drop dead' date to order under the old prices? I have several more barrels that I would like but I need to budget the money right now for those 'futures'.

Thanks,

Bob,
As far as I am concerned any order placed through the end of business on Aug. 31st will be at the current pricing. Criterion offered me some extremely good pricing to bring their Button Rifled Match Grade Barrels to the market. I was able to get them to agree to a one year period for this new product introduction. That time frame will be up as of Sept. 1st 2011.

I have been very pleased and pleasantly surprised at the level of quality that Criterion has built into their barrels. Between this quality commitment from Criterion and the level of support (product sales) from the Criterion Customers, I would have to say that the product introduction went extremely well.

Jim do you happen to have any 7mm RM criterion barrels in or on the way?

[northlander]

319,
I do not have any CBI Barrels being made that are chambered in the 7mm RM. I can have one here in about 8+ weeks if you would like one.

I got the call from Brenda today,barrel ought to be here mid-week sometime.

Any of you guys with a 260ai happen to know the neck diameter of the chamber?

[jwv]

It is within 2 thousandths of a turn chamber with my lapua brass (15thou neck thickness), so approx a .296. It is nice, case necks barely expand and actually still grip a bullet after firing.

[ShaneG.]

Thanks for that number,I'll double check mine when it comes in. 7mm-08 brass loaded measured about .2885".

Necked down WCC 09' 308 brass measured about .2925".

[ShaneG.]

I received another three cases of Criterion Barrels. The only barrels not shipped yet are those that are still being made and a few that are waiting on reamers. Brenda has another 15 barrels going out on Monday. She will be calling you when your order ships.
