My first .204 ruger

[2002silverex]

Love the gun, but the set trigger isnt nearly as light as the one I tried at the shop (same gun but wood stock).

Ive looked at my manual and I know that the screw that hangs down in front of the trigger is the one used to adjust the weight of the pull for the set trigger...but the manual does not say which way to turn it for lighter or heavier pull.

Ive turned it a few ways each direction and tried it, and it doesnt seem to change the pull weight.

Does anyone know the proper procedure to lighted the pull on the set trigger. And which direction to turn the screw?

Put 40 rounds through it. 32gr seemed to group better but still not very impressed about 1" - 1.25" at 100 yards. Each group had two shots touching or almost touching and one shot an inch or inch and a half off??? Any suggestions?

My gun didnt do very good for the first 100 or so. keep shooting and cleaning it will get better

Like I said in my earlier reply-you gotta load yer own. Some guns will shoot factory stuff pretty good, but for the most part, if you are looking to shoot those tiny sub moa groups you just gotta break down and do some hand loading. I'd start with some Winchester brass, Remington #71/2 primers, 10x powder, and Sierra 39gr Blitzking bullets. Your gun will probably spit out that combo way under an inch at a 100yds no problem. If it doesn't I'd be really surprised.

I found a factory load it really likes. Its the federal premium with 39gr sierra BK. Im shooting 5 shot groups at 100 yards all 5 shots touching.... Dont know if the barrell is just breaking in now or it just really likes that ammo. Will do more testing today.
