the result was a very smooth trigger pull with about 1/2 the crept of before good enough for deerhunting
Hoot wrote:I've gone both ways. No, not that! I mean aftermarket triggers and DIY. It's not rocket science to make a jig out of a piece of hardwood or aluminum bar stock. Lay the stripped lower on the board/bar. Shove an ice pick or some other pointy device of the right size through the pivot pin holes and mark the board/bar. Drill the board/bar for the pivot pins and assemble the FCG on the board/bar out in the open, where you can exercise it, see and feel the interplay between the mating surfaces. Using as fine stones as you can find and having the right contour to maintain the aspect of the mating surfaces, slowly, ever so slowly remove material with repeated exercising to feel it out. Stop before you think you're done and actually field exercise it. Like the barber used to tell me, "Son, I can always take more off, but it's real hard to put it back on." If you can't drill a true hole, there are jigs available for sale from folks who can. I used a piece of left-over Delrin for mine.

Wildcatter - Thoughts or experiences?
From the reading/researching I have done on 450b, 458 Socom, and 50 beowulf - I have not see any posts regarding trigger problems..
thanks

These were triggers that were fine with the 69 grain loads, but occasionally would double using the 77 grainers over a compressed charge of Varget. This was a while ago, and I haven't heard of this issue since then, but the .450B is generating significantly more recoil than any of the .223 loads.
