I seemed to be fighting the trigger...
on this one, so when I got back home I put the RCBS Scale to it. It averaged 5 1/2 pounds for five pulls, so it will get some TLC when the stock comes off to mount a Decelerator pad & front swivel.
I set the trigger on Peggi's 78 at 3 1/4 pounds and Loctited the screws. I checked it while I had the scale out and it hasn't changed, after six years of use.
