[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1865537, member: 101791"] I shoot 308 Norma Mag and 338 W. Mag mostly. The 338 is a Ruger and had about an 8 pd trigger pull. I changed it out for 1.5 lbs trigger. That help quite a bit. The best I had a mussel brake added. Now it's a little puppy dog. 1st I found that a heavy trigger pull was hard to control on the bench shooting for groups. I got under 1/2 min. groups with it, and did a little better with the trigger change out. The mussel brake made it a pleasure to shot, but didn't improve the grouping, but fun to shoot. The 308 N. Mag I had built and I put in a 1 pound trigger to start with. Not knowing the trigger pull on your rifle, and butt pad. That can make the different some. Mussel brake is the most gain. Nosier yes. At the range ear protection, in the field how many shots are going to be shoots? the other is your rifle is on with a cold barrel. Good to know. The 308 w/165 gr. @3300 fps, and the 338 w/200 gr. @3230 fps. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
