    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    I’ve been able to get .5” groups if do my part with the ELD-M’s but most have been like .7” or smaller. I haven’t really worked up a load since I just hit 150ish rounds down the barrel, so I’m thinking it’ll shirk a bit more once I get them dialed in better.

    What's the Go-To 223 Brass Now?

    I could have sworn they did but after looking over the interwebs last night it appears they didn’t, it’s seems 223 “match” brass isn’t really a popular thing for the premier brass makers. I know lapua, norma, and starline all make it with a slight bias towards match performance but the other...

    What's the Go-To 223 Brass Now?

    I’ve been run starline for my current project, since I couldn’t find alpha or Peterson when I was ordering components a while back.

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    Northland is a great company to deal with and they keep a good variety of stuff on the shelf. I wanted a bull contour in 24” but didn’t want the lead time, so I called up northland and had a 26” to my door in under a week.

    Criterion 223 Remington match chamber

    I’ve been getting mine dialed in and it eat the 73gr GMM like a champ while throwing rounds through it before going to deep into load development with a fresh barrel. I’ve even run hornady 55 fmj’s through it with pretty good results considering the jump they are doing. The couple powder...

    223/for distance

    I remember getting my 6creed spun up and being like I’m gonna pushing 105’s at Mach Jesus, then after a season of abusing it I realized that I didn’t need to push them so hard. Now I’m happy running stuff in the 2800-2900 range, saves me powder and doesn’t torch my barrel but I’ll admit pushing...

    That’s fair, I think my 6creed was up there but I dialed it back

    I’ve heard the 85.5 bergers are the cats meow for open with a 223, just expensive but what isn’t these days

    223 freebore - Factory ammo jump

    I think the freebore on mine is .100 and it seems to chuck factory stuff without much thought. Granted I’ve just been running 73gr GMM through it for factory stuff.

    223/for distance

    I’ve got a fresh 26” “Match” chambered barrel from criterion barrel that’s pushing 75 ELD-M’s at 2923 with 25.9gr of staball match. I thinking it should pick up a little speed once it get more rounds through it and the brass is fire formed instead of being virgin but so far it’s been awesome...

    Stock conundrum

    223 based, I like them because you can open them up to load long with heavy bullets to not take up care capacity and if you ever need to replace the liner due to wearing out the feed lips out.
