I just got back from shooting the 243. I have made progress but I think I can do better. My 2 best groups were approximately .7 MOA and .8333 MOA. Not too bad but nothing to brag about. I used the 75 grain Speer .025 off the lands with 45 grains of IMR 4350. Any suggestions for a different combination? Interestingly, I had 5 100 grain bullets I also shot and they were almost the same as far as the vertical placement, completely different than what happened with the 223 and 22-250, which both shot higher with the heavier bullets and the 22-250 was a lot higher.

I believe the trigger is still too heavy and I have it adjusted as low as it will go. When you trim the spring, do you snip it off with a side cutters or do you grind it off? I am a little leery of grinding because it might take the temper out of the spring. I suppose if you did it a little at a time and let it cool before the next time it might be OK but if I could snip it off it would be faster and easier. Any idea how much to cut? I know it is better to not get carried away and it may take several times before you get it right. Are their any videos on this site or youtube to guide me?

Also, I believe this rifle could be a little heavier. Everyone says the stock is flimsy and it is but I don't think it is really that bad. I would just like to add some weight to both the area under the barrel and also the butt end. I have seen videos of this done on youtube by adding either lead balls or ball bearings and then using some type of material such as epoxy. What would be a good epoxy or other material for this? One guy used Rockite and another used Glaze Coat in the videos I watched.

Thanks for any help.

I would like to add the Redfield Revolution is a darn nice scope for the price. Extremely clear and generous eye relief.
