    My other build (223 Criterion)


    Savage action & Criterion barrel(Jim Briggs) B&C Stock. I went to the range on Sunday It was like a circus i didnt stay long. I stayed long enough to tell that it don't like varget. So i came home and loaded some with RL10x. I bought it for my 204 Remy it shot all over the place with it. Went back to the range on Monday. I left my ammo on the bench > Thats my luck
    P.S Please excuse the messy bench

    Being a Criterion barrel, I believe you'll find a bug hole recipe in short order.

    If she's a 9 twist or faster and doesn't like a 75gr bullet and 24.0 +/- 0.5gr Varget...just woah...

    If it won't shoot 24.5 of Varget or 24.2 of RL 15 with 69 gr or 75 gr bullets, donate it to me!!!

    I have an 8 twist 223 barrel from CBI and it does not like light bullets. I cannot get it to group with any of the combinations that I tried. However, once I stepped up to the 68-75 grain bullets accuracy was great. I would recommend trying some of the 68 or 69 gr pills and I bet you will be happy with the results.

    Nice looking rig. I really like the paint job on the stock.

    1-12 twist, use 52 to 55 grain bullets.

    I have a old model 112 223 1/12 factory barrel. It shoots just about anything.
    It likes 55gr v-max touching the lands. 26 gr varget.
