Default Finally, a chance to get my Pro Hunter to the range but UPDATE

Well after 25 rounds through my new Pro Hunter I am much more comfortable on the trigger. I am about an inch right perfect up and down at 50 yards with open sights. Ishot 5 shots at 80 yards yesterdaywith open sights and was an inch low windage was good. I pulled 1 shot but the other4 wereabout a2-1/2" group. My scope should be in this coming week so I will really start dialing it in then. As for all the adivse on here I appreciate it greatly. I am much more smoothon the trigger, there is still a slight bit of anticipated recoil but nothing like it was, and I on the shot I am still flinching a little bit but overall it is much better. The gun is performing great, now I have to get the shooter to perform that good . One question I have though, I am using Win. 209 primers (not 777) and it seems like I really have to slam the gun shut. Is this normal? I am thinking of trying CCI primers since I hear they are hotter. Has anyone noticed any difference between the Win. primers and the CCI? Thanks again for the help and support.

Different primers might chance the way the rifle locks up. Since I don't have one I can not say for sure. You might try other primers. Although a good solid lock up is very good to have.

Primers can make a difference as far as POI. I don't have a problem with the breech closing on my Triumph no matter which primer I use but I get a different POI . I switched to Win209 and my group was vertical . A perfect straight line about 5 shots in a 5 inch line. I switched back to federal and the group became a tight perfect group. Using T7 primers the group opened up more ,so with the triumph I have to use Federal. My Omega shoots Federal,T7,Remington or Winchester all fine. My Genesis prefers Federal also. It seems each gun is pretty independent and different. It sure gives me an excuse to shoot a lot
