Hi All,

So, I finally got my barrel from Criterion and have been working up loads the last couple weekends. I'm finding that no matter what powder I use (with the 143 ELD-X) My barrel will not give me more than 2650 FPS. This is really disappointing me as I was hoping to see at least 2750 fps out of a 25" barrel.... With that being said, It is perhaps the most accurate barrel I've ever owned. H4831, H4350, IMR 7828, & Vit N560, all grouped really well with the H4831 and IMR 7828 being the best of the groups... IMR 7828 was one ragged hole @ 100 yards.

So my question is, Will I gain speed on the barrel eventually? Or am I just stuck with a really accurate, but very slow barrel?

Thanks guys,
