Trigger tuning

[JamesnTN]

Is it safe to tune the Jewell trigger in my turbo and checking by leaving a fired case in the chamber? I'm wanting to lightning it a bit more and hope it'll help my horizontal stringing as I feel I'm pulling the rifle just a tad.

If it's a cone breach you will ding the chamber if you don't have a fired case in the chamber and dry fire the gun. Even if it's not a cone breach I would still use a fired case in the chamber if you plan on dry firing.

Other than wind, your trigger pull is one of the primary causes of horizontal when shooting free recoil. Just by moving your finger around to different positions on the trigger to let a shot off you will see how much of an impact your trigger pull has with a rimfire.

Thanks I was going to use a fired case just wasn't sure if it was safe in my action to do so when dry firing and adjusting the trigger pull

I would rotate the fired case after a couple of hits .

I make my own snap caps from copper , they last a little longer and are softer than solid brass .

If you use a fired case be sure and run a couple patches through the barrel when your done. You'll find a lot of residue from the fired case ends up in the barrel.

That won't work in my chamber. I tried that and the bolt won't catch and pull the brass out.

Interesting. I am not experienced with your action and its extraction setup, but I hav had a number of barrels installed on commercial production actions with a variety of match chambers that all extracted cases that were originally fired in that rifle.
Is your chamber a 52D?

How about just getting some snap caps?

Might I inquire, what exactly are you tuning here with the Jewell?
