Won't group factory Hornady to save its life. I'm hoping reloads will work better. Very surprised that it doesn't shoot considering the hype around this barrel when I bought it two years ago, and the price I paid for it at the time.
I called criterion and they said send us your upper it's gotta be your reciever or bcg. Like it had to be anything but their barrel. There's not much more they could do I can't do. So I lapped the reciever bedded the barrel with high temp sleeve retaining compound re-torqued it used shims n rockset on the muzzle break and it's better but still won't group factory ammo. Handloads help but I'm bout ready to scrap it
