Trigger

[Asscott4]

Well I installed my trigger into my 700 Sendero. Boy it was eaiser than I anticipated..... I havent shot it yet but I will say that so far I really really LIKE it!!!

I knew you could do it man. Was the instructions on that web-site helpful? Bill

 

[Asscott4]

Yes sir they were. Hey I have a question for you. I reloaded some 210 gr SMK's with 87 grains of Retumbo, Fed 215 magnum match primers, and i seated them out to 3.8". Do you think that they will be "hot"? Thanks....

 

[billmo]

How close to the lands are you with the bullet?

 

[Asscott4]

Ya know thats one thing that I havent checked with this gun. I bet im really close to the lands but im not sure. I need to barely seat a bullet and see exactly how far out I can go out. Sorry I'm still new at the reloading...

 

[billmo]

I understand all that man. Might want to keep an eye on that seating depth. It has a whole lot to do with accuracy and safety.

OK so if the load doesnt shoot then I should just try a different seating depth before i give up on the load? Thanks for all of the help....

Yea, I would try moving @ .005 at the time in and out to see if the group tightens up. You really do need to find out where you are right now as opposed to the lands so that you will have some idea of what you are working with. I don't think I would want to jam to the lands with that much powder and bullet weight without carefully working into it. But, seating depth will certainly play a part in accuracy in most rifles. Is that load that you quoted from a manual and is it the top or,hot) load? Bill

i got this load off of Reloaders Nest. I dont believe it's "hot". I loaded them a few grains below what was posted.
