First I will list the work I did.
1. Took out the trigger group and stoned the sear on the trigger and the hammer. Im thinking at 3 pounds. Ill probably do it again but it is much better than before.
2. Polished the hammer face, grind and polish the rear lower portion of the bolt assembly. They say this aides in removing stove piping and gives the bolt more leverage on the hammer. For what its worth??
3. Removed the existing barrel and installed a couple of very thin washers on the top of the V block so as not to induce barrel droop.
4. Replaced the bolt stop pin with a 1/4 inch nylon bolt cut to size.
5. Cleaned and scrubbed every part before lubing with a dry lube.
6. Installed the barreled action in in a new Hogue over molded stock. I installed a very thin piece of plastic sheet between the take down screw and the v-block before tightening. To help with barrel clearence from the stock. Only a very minor torque on the screw.
Below is the targets I shot with various ammo I have in my possession. What an eye opener this is. All shots at 50 yards off of a bench and 5 shots for each ammo.
FYI I am not a bench shooter and even as I shoot I can see small movements in the scope. I would credit myself for any errors of 1/4 to 1/2 inch or so.
1. Federal Champion
2. CCI std
3. CCI Mini Mag HP
4. CCI Mini Mag copper plated round nose
5. Federal Target
6. Not shown CCI ccb long just for grins
Oh my does ammo make the difference.
Looks like my gun has a real problem with Federal but fairly happy with CCI. Looks like CCI standard is the ammo of choice. Ive seen comments on You Tube and the CCI standard does seem to be favorable in a lot of guns.
The CCI cb long. I could easily see it travel to target. It dropped so much it was 10" below the bottom of target. I had hoped to use it for quiet squirrel hunting but there is no accuracy.
During my shooting I did not have one problem with feed or ejection. I had shot several times to get close to zero and check the action for problems before going to the range. Close to 75 shots with no problems at all.
