Keith1369, Thank you sir for the information. What are your applications for your rifle?

Thank you SJB. Are you guys good with my choice of H4831SC in both the 22" and 24"? I think I read some information on a guy getting good accurate speeds in a 22" with RL-22(?).

6.5_sWv, I have the 280 AI bug for sure. I think if I go 24", it will be the sporter taper vs the heavy sporter. The difference in the Criterion barrel weight between the two is 2.95 lbs and 3.34 lbs. I already have Nosler prepped brass (new), powder, dies, primers and bullets.

Nimrod, thank you for your knowledge. I'm hoping that a hand lapped Criterion match barrel won't be "slow." I have read about slow barrels but they were mainly factory Tikka rifles. I really have no idea why I'm bent on the 280 AI other than just because I can. I reload and am set up for it...

I believe from research that 24" is ideal. However, I'd like to have the barrel in 22" to put on my 116 WW that currently sits in a B&C Medalist with a Zeiss HD5 3-15x50. Main bullets to be used would be 150 BT's and AB's and 160 AB's (Reloads with on hand H4831SC). Will this 22" 8.5 twist...

Exactly what I was thinking!

Thank you Sir.

Are these the dies made before Hornady? Sorry for the dumb question. Just thought I'd knock out my first post on here.
