[QUOTE="misterc01, post: 1728328, member: 109160"] I 'm shooting a Savage Model F T/R so I have a little experience with it. The Accu-trigger: Works fine, BUT you need to be gentle with it. Don't try to "slam" the bolt closed of use alto of force. If you go to hard, the trigger locks up. Initially from the factory, the trigger pull was about .2oz - and that light setting was the main culprit. I took it up to about .8oz and relatively few problems, and those were related to how I was reloading. I now take every round through a Lyman ammo checker and that has virtually eliminated bolt/trigger problems. Seating - that has been an adventure. I sent a fired case to Hornady to have them set it up for my comparator, and it took a while to get the "feel" for when a bullet was on the lands. I now use both a Hornady and Sinclair Comparator, and take a minimum of ten measurments with each - one, then the other. I get two sets of readings (obviously) consistent with each other, then average the two sets independently, so I can then measure my final seating depth with each to make sure I am getting the depth I want. I started going .001 - .002 off the lands, and found that last time out my groups shrank at.010 off the lands. So, my rifle likes the longer jump. Hope this useful to you. [/QUOTE]
