“Here is the load data that I’m using:

• Hornady Brass trimed @1.912
• Ogive seat @ 2.238
• H4350@ 40.0 gn
• Headspace @ 1.553
• Seated neck @ .290 /.002 neck tension

I use Redding Nation Match dies and am seeing no more than .001 runout pretty much every round. Having never picked up a rifle in my life till 3 years ago and only just learning how to hand load I have very limited experience.

I Got the barrel installed and broke in. I now have 50 rounds shot and just wanted to share this picture and say thanks for the help in making this a pleasant experience. I’ve only had the rifle out to 500 yards but so far I’m very pleased. This picture was at 200 yards and a 5 shot group.”

Thanks for the message Mark and happy shooting!

Art C of Massachusetts reached out regarding his 6.5 x 47 Criterion build. Art purchased the following products from Northland.

• 28″ Criterion 6.5×47 Laupa in a Bull contour
• NSS precision ground recoil lug
• NSS squared and trued barrel nut
• NSS 4″ barrel nut wrench
• NSS action wrench

The photo is Art’s target at 200 yards with .12 MOA.

Art had the following to say about his build.

“The Criterion barrel was a cinch to change!  I set it up with the identical headspace as my 6.5×47 PRS rifle.  Shoots the same load, same dye settings. same performance!! The only difference is the Criterion has an additional .0005” of BTO which makes no difference in results.  This rifle will be my 200/300 yard Egg Shooter.

Thanks for your assistance! I’ll be ordering a barrel for my 6.5×284 hunter in the next couple of months.”

Thanks for the message Art and happy shooting!

Dave H. of South Dakota reached out regarding his Criterion 6mm Creedmoor barrel purchased from Northland Shooters Supply. Dave purchased a 24″ Criterion 6mm Creedmoor in a heavy sporter contour with an 8 twist.

Dave had the following to say about his build.

“Other than the 6 BR, this is the easiest tuning cartridge ever. I have just over 200 rounds shot and all groups including ALL load development averaged in the .3s. It’s a great barrel! After the initial break-in of shoot 1, clean, shoot 2, clean, then shoot 3, clean, it’s caught no copper since round #3. I will probably be ordering a 28″ large shank before Spring.”

Thanks for the note Dave and happy shooting!

Bret M. of Kentucky reached out regarding his Criterion 6mm Creedmoor Rem/Age barrel and the Remington 700 action he purchased from Northland.

Bret had the following to say.

“Here is the result of the products you sell.  The 26-inch 6 Creedmoor match performed awesome with 115-grain DTAC bullets. I couldn’t be happier with the products you sell.  I was able to place 4th in the amateur division at the 2018 GAP Grind using the Remington 700 action and Criterion barrel from Northland.  I used an XLR Envy Chassis. Thanks again for great products!”

Thanks for the note Bret and great shooting!
