Friday the 28th shooting.

Not sure if I would call it a good day or a bad day. What I was doing was sighting in the new Bushnell Trophy scope I had put on My Remington 700 50cal..
I got disgusted with the normal good shooting load (80gr. T7 MMP green sabot and Hornaday 240gr. bullet.) I had been useing.

So I dug in the shooting box for that god awful AAP 3F I have had for 4 or 5 years and didn't want to just pour out.
Never used the stuff in the 50 before. 80 grains didn't even show on the target. 90 grains showed two hits on the far right of the target. 100 grains showed 3 hits just to the right of center. and the next 5 showed that maybe that AAP isn't such awful crap after all. But since I have 8 pounds of T7 i won't buy anymore of the stuff.



I also felt the trigger was god awful. I hooked the scale to it when I got back in. Still wasn't released at 72 onces.



A bit of work on the screws helped that a lot.




Now that is more like it 2.5 pounds.

What did you do to the trigger to make it come around like you did? APP just does not shoot in some rifles. Why, I have no idea. I like the stuff for shooting in my black powder revolver. You can shoot all day and never fowl out..

Just adjusted the pull weight screw and the back lash one.
Pull weight screw is the bottom front one of the two. Back lash is the rear single screw.

OK, I thought maybe you had to hone off the burrs or something like that...

I'm wanting to try it out. Yesterday it rained most of day. Today the wind is 23 MPH with gust up to 35 MPH.
I just got off the phone with the daughter in Eu Clair who said ya'll got freezeing rain and snow last night.
