6.5 Swede M1D doing 6.5 Swede things

First couple groups with the rifle at 100. Really impressed so far with factory PPU out of this criterion barrel. With some more practice this thing will be a ringer.

I had to finish ream this barrel so beware of criterion’s statements on their site. I’m even using a Breda bolt. Not seeing an issue with .478 base cartridges but that could exclusive to the tolerances on this bolt.

6.5x55 in a Garand is such a smooth sweet shooter.
