I run a Criterion, 24-inch barrel on my .260. It will run 129/130-grainers at 3000 fps, with Re 17, Re26 and IMR 4350. I tested 147 ELD-Ms and settled on a load of Re26 that got me 2825 fps. It would do more, but shoots 1/2 moa with this load. I killed one antelope and one white-tailed doe with acceptable results using the 147.

I went with the .260, as I have good access to .308 Hornady Match brass, which works great. Without that, I would have gone with a Creed, most likely.

Criterion is the only barrel that I will buy. I have two and they are both incredible shooters.

You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
