FLSHOOTER from United States, FL Public Profile

I’ve been reloading since the 1980’s. I’ve tried every reloading funnel on the market.The Xtreme hardcore gear is the best funnel on the planet,Period! Cling free,solidly built to last forever and very well balanced. I have one for just about every caliber I reload,except 8mm Mauser.
Saturn makes a funnel out of spun aluminum and brass that comes close, but it’s not as solidly built,well balanced or as compact.I own an 8 mm Mauser Saturn funnel,and I’m wishing xtreme hard-core gear made one that size.
Anyone who doesn’t agree with my review has not used this funnel or has no clue on what they’re doing!
My only complaints is that I can never find these funnels in stock. And they don’t have one for 8 mm Mauser.

I just got this Wilson 16 inch black out barrel .First Wilson combat AR barrel I’ve ever owned. Very impressed with the quality of the barrel.Put it on an aero precision upper with a lightweight Sampson hand guard and topped w/a 1-6X24 Vortex Viper scope. The whole rig Weighs under 8 pounds. Add 11 ounces for the suppressor.
Anyway it’s very accurate.I was getting .75 groups with 125 grain Speer tnt bullets and H110 powder.These are hand loads I had laying around. When I work up a load for this particular barrel the group should tighten up. The fast twist can handle SGK 200 grain subsonic hand loads too!
I’ve been using the 300 BO for FL hog hunting. Great for one shot kills out to 150 yards. And I won’t be shooting past 150 yards. This Wilson combat barrel is replacing a criterion custom barrel ,which is extremely accurate but on the heavy side.This Wilson combat barrel makes for a great 300 bo hunting rifle.

The Geissele Nat Match trigger is well made from quality parts in the US.Is fully adjustable and comes with a lifetime warranty from Geissele.Leaves nothing to be desired.
I use it for precision Benchrest out to 600 yards.1.5 lb 1st stage.1 lb second stage.Breaks like glass,best AR trigger I have ever owned.I will eventually get one for all my precision AR.

Problem I’ve always had was that the .936 gas blocks were always too big to fit with the smaller light hand guards.I’ve used the .936 Troy low profile gas blocks in several of my custom builds.Great gas block that fits in the slimmest hand guards.

I am a fan of Criterion barrels.I own custom Criterions I’ve gotten from a gunsmith.And I’ve got several pre fit Criterions that were purchased online.All shoot MOA.
This barrel is a heavy barrel.But not what I would call a bull barrel.It is only .820 from the gas block up to the muzzle.I consider .920 to be a bull barrel.
Very good fit and finish.Match quality.I was shooting 1/2” groups w/77g Sierra MK hand loads after a brief break in period of maybe 50 rds.Not something I’d want to carry hunting.But,perfect for target.

.224 Valkyrie Criterion 22” Hybrid nitrite barrel.6.5 twist.This barrel shot sub moa groups out the box.I shot 2-20rd boxes 75 g Federal.
Then shot 50 rds 90 gn Sierra MK handloads.The 6.5 twist stabilizes the heavier bullets well.Just over 50 rds through it and I was consistently ringing 12” steel @ 600yrds.
Once barrel is broken in and I figure out the best load,it will be a great little shooter.This is already an accurate barrel.Far better than the PSA junk barrel that came with the upper.
I own several Criterion custom barrels I had turned and several pre fit like this that I bought from online dealers.All shoot sub moa.Some do 3/4” groups,some do 1/2” groups.
For $300 you won’t get a better barrel .Next step is a $600 custom Krieger or Bartlien.IMO Criterion’s can shoot as good as the Krieger And Bartlien customs after break in(200-300rds)Maybe not as durable.But,still a great barrel.
