New replacement barrel

[rjtfroggy]

Back in June I reported about a Criterion that I could not get to shoot. Well it was replaced by Criterion with a 1:13 twist 308 Win and after getting the action back from Sharp Shooter
( T & T plus new trigger Flawless) I had it at the range today using 125gr. Sierra's with a couple of different loads and a few different seating depths and as of now am happy to say it does look promising.
Using IMR 4895 and -.015 off the lands I had a 3 shot group measuring 0.273, a different depth at just under .3 both same charge ( don't ask I won't give it to you). Now I will tweak these depths just a little in & out and start with 5 shot groups, crossing my fingers that it will work. This is for hopefully a 200 yard bench rest rifle.

Almost forgot weather conditions this morning 44* 7-12 mph westerly wind raining and fog so thick at times you could not see the target at 100 yards.
I have a new McMillan Edge LV coming for this rebuild so when it is finished I post pictures of the rifle and hopefully some decent targets, with chrono info.

Well good deal. That is one thing that has struck me about Criterions, it seems to be get it back and let us look, we want to know.

We are having a warm spell 10 degrees this am!

That's about my shooting limit, range is close until January, we do have a shed that has heaters in the top so that's a bit help.
