    Hornady bullets in Criterion barrels?


    Anyone having good success with Hornady bullets in Criterion barrels?

    I can't seem to get them to shoot. Sierras Noslers and Bergers do great but no luck with Hornadys.

    This is with multiple barrels in various calibers.

    Thoughts?

    I have had Hornady bullets shoot good in everything I owned. Typically they want a longer jump to the lands. What specific bullets, and what twist rate barrels ? I have done 55gr SP, Vmax, 75gr HPBT 223, 150gr spire 308, 196gr HPBT 8x57, 150gr Spire 8x57, 110gr HP 308 in 7.62x39, 95gr SST in 243 Win, 140gr Amax in 6.5x284. All were great, better than MOA.

    Weigh your bullets especially if they are the SST.

    I have always had better results with Sierra and Nosler. Hornady shoots fine but when my goal is to get little groups, Sierra is my go-to.
