[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3097854, member: 15054"] I would not stop at 100 yards with those groups. Take the same loads to 200 yards and then see which one really holds together. Those triggers I am not familiar with is it set up in such a way that you loosen a screw to relieve pressure from a spring basically making the spring longer. If yes. The deal with doing that is you run out of enough spring length to keep the moving parts engaged . that is if you can twist a screw that far. Some people cut a spring shorter.. this in many circumstances is a bad deal as you are back at not enough spring length again. The best way to go it to reduce the spring diameter and that way wyou keep the free length of the spring to keep parts engaged so your drop test you will never have a situation that fires the round. You guys know this probably. I have used different grit sandpaper and different grit honing stones to reduce spring diameter of stock springs. Yes it takes some time to reduce the coil diameter and buying a spring is easier.. just saying if a spring is not available or you are in a pinch there are ways around the purchasing part. Magna19 it looks like you found some very promising loads..keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
