cjl2010 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 Yes it was a good factory trigger but after shooting my stw with a nice shilen, a factory trigger feels like it is 10 lbs!! The smith who built it had the action. He bought the rifle from an older gentleman a few months ago that bought the gun and stuffed it in the back of a safe.

The smith who built it had the action. He bought the rifle from an older gentleman a few months ago that bought the gun and stuffed it in the back of a safe. I have never tried a shilen, couldn't figure out if they would work in a LH gun. The Jewel clearly said LH and I hit the order button. My last 2 Rem 700s came with the pro mark x. I do have an effective repair procedure for them. It involves a large hammer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjl2010 Report post Posted January 22, 2017 Haha I've never touched a new trigger. General consensus is they aren't that great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted January 22, 2017 What is your H4350 charge weight? 42.5 I bet with a 27" 1:8 twist and 42.5gr. under a 140-143, you are going to be 2850-2880 on virgin brass and new barrel. I bet it speeds up to close to 2900ish after it breaks in. I get 2840 w. 41.5gr. & 2940 w. 43.0gr. now out of a 27.25" Bartlein My barrel gained about 45fps once I had about 90-110 rounds down the barrel in my 6.5 SLR. My .260 pushing a 140 Berger HVLD w. 42.0 H4350 gets 2850 w. 26" Bartlein. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If only these power outages would stop and I could get off call so I can pull the trigger some. Thanks for the references lance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cell4soul Report post Posted January 22, 2017 You'll break 2800. I am at 2760 with 41.4 grains of H4350 out of a 24" barrel. I think Lancetkenyon is spot on with his guesstimate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
