[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2769030, member: 91783"] Not a lot adjusted the trigger pull weight to my liking, bedded the action to my liking and as stated before used a go no-go gauge to check the chamber but mostly loaded my own rounds to fit the chamber and figure out the correct seating depth, fine-tuned the velocity, and figured out what bullets it liked best.
