I have never had a Criterion barrel that was not a shooter. I have an 18" Criterion barrel on one of my AR platforms, with handloads I can get 1/2 to 5/8 groups ( 5 shot groups ). The only thing special I do with the handloads is, I pay attention to my shoulder bump ( .003 ) is what I found to be the happy spot for my chamber.
