    Over travel on trigger is it a good thing?

    Changing primers during load development?

    Hey guys I am in the final stages of my load development for my 7mm Remington mag custom rifle. My rifle is built on a Remington 700 action that has been rebarreled with a Broughton 5.5 5C 1 in 9" twist 26" barrel. My goal was to push a Berger 180gr VLD at 3000fps. I reached that goal today with...

    Well guys I just got back from the range and tried shooting with my thumb relaxed on the tang of the stock and with my index finger pad resting on the trigger.
