I put a bold trigger in my sporter and they don't give any instrction on adjusting the pull. I know where the adjustment screw is but was looking for a little input from someone who may have fidddled with one. I'm assuming that no instruction because of fear of liability. Thanks

Got to the range today andran 20 rounds through the Whelen without a hitch. I used H4895 , all Ihad but not what I plan on using. The last 2 shot group at 50 was less than a1/2". Then I went out to 100 and the loast 2 groups of 3 with 53 an 54grs. were 1.70" and 1.85" Fed. primers Siearra GK225grs. OAL 3.300. I'm pretty sure with some different powders I'll be able to do better. For the first time out I'm quite pleased.I'd like to thank ya'll for info and support. I'm thinking of trying BL-C(2) or RL15. The bullet touches the lands about 3.360 so I'm about .06 off . I may try a little longer and if there's any difference open up the mag well a little. When I started reloading I got alot of satifaction from putting together my own ammo and seeing the results but puting this thing together was a real kick.

I thought I put that in there, 35Whelen. Thats why I' m thinking of the fixed power scope and I think you're right it didn't turn to bad and sure have been thinking about another and I haven't even fired this one yet.

I went to "Finished Products" but it said no new threads or replies so I put it here. My first project completed but not field tested that will come tomorrow. I'll load up 20 rounds and head to the range tomorrow. It's low budget now but I plan on a Boyd's laminate and duracoat as well as a new floorplate and extendede button. $80 for A&B Corelie special from Midway a$9 saftey, $25 E-Bay bolt, Bold trigger and redfield mounts. Had a choice of tasco or Bushnell and went with the Tasco but plan on going with a fixed 4 or 6 later maybe Weaver. Was forunate enough to be lent reamer and guages. Don't know if this is the right place for this , if not my apoligies.

Roscoe, from my crude measurements I'd say it backed out .012 to .014. I reload and if I try it I'll use starting loads Thanks

Last post was mine forgot to log in.

Just finshed lapping lugs' fitting saftey, drilling and tapping for scope mount and fitting bolt handle in stock. I'm redy to set the barrel and read the post in "Barrels" on how much torque to use. have reamer handle on the way and was wondering what the technique is to finish ream. hope ya'll can help me out . Thanks

To what degree do you need to lap the bolt face and lugs and what works best ? I didn't know if I should post it here or in"Bolts". If this is the wrong place please let me know. Thanks

Fritz, I looked at Midway and couldn't find the Turk barrels. Where do I look? Thanks
