CouesPursuit Report post Posted August 15, 2021 I started breaking in the new 26" Criterion while testing some groups with virgin Norma brass, H1000 and the 160 NAB. First range trip found a great node from 67.0-68.0 gr. All well under 1" @ 100 yards with similar POI and velocities ranging from 3010-3050 FPS. The second range trip and a 68.0 charge printed a 1.2" group at 200 yards while setting my hunting zero. I will test seating depths next trip to close the horizontal dispersion and hunt 68.0gr this fall. Once my 200 pieces of virgin Norma are fired and the barrel speeds up, I'll check for the next node up or fine tune the existing. I'll compare RL23 for the heck of it but H1000 looks like it will be tough to beat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
