    new Criterion 1 in 8 stainless barrel, new ball game


    I did test loads all day today what a different ball game, I shot two 5 round groups each starting with 23.5 grains cfe 223 up to 25.5 grains 68 grain Hornady HPBT. 2.250 OAL.
    23.5 to 25.0 all shot sub 1 in groups 25.5 was all over the paper.
    The most consist loads was 24.5 with groups at .60 and 25 at .65 The accuracy on the bulleye was better at 25.0
    I think that I am going to start my work up at 24.7 and see how it goes.
    And move to 300 yards.
    What do you think?

    Thats a vast improvement. My lyman book shows the "accuracy load" with a heavy load of varget, something to try.

    Get it on and post pictures. You have to put a little swagger on!
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    My Criterion 1/8 twist 223 will shoot the 53 V-Max over IMR 3031 into tiny groups at 100 yds. I am currently loading the 69 gr Lapua Scenar over a case full of Varget with good results. Never could get the CFE 223 to shoot well, but I didn't try magnum primers and that might be the reason.
    Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.
