[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2079308, member: 38048"] Maybe Wheeler can explain it in better terms to you. Take an old cocking piece from a rem 700 and grind 1/16 inch off the bottom of the cocking piece engagement. You will notice the action closes much easier. But your accuracy will be poor because of inconsistent ignition because your pin fall is reduced by the amount you ground off. Most actions need at least .225 to .250 of pin fall to shoot right. To get a Remington timed right with just the cocking piece will put the pin fall around .200 or less. They feel great but shoot like crap. shep [/QUOTE]
