Low-budget RPR accurizing

[mtenenhaus]

thank you... i always learn so much from your posts

i wonder if, all other things being equal that, perhaps a more favorable design would be to employ a horizontally effected striker as opposed to an arc pattern hammer

Best thing you could do from that list is a new trigger spring. You can get a spring from M*Carbo that makes the stock trigger about 1 lb. it’s about $15

If you want to up the ante you can install a Krieger heavy barrel

The 22 Benchrest gunsmiths like Bill Calfee do exactly that. He uses a 90 degree trigger and a 90 degree sear to avoid the upward pressure you see from Remington pattern triggers.

He seems like a decent guy but it's obvious he is trying to make a living out of making YouTube videos instead of working.
If you watch what he says about the suppressor he agrees with Harold Vaughn from 40 years ago that anytime you add weight to the muzzle the gun shoots better.
He also says truing up an action improves accuracy and we have engineer posters here today that say that isn't so but he is correct there as well.
You want the gun as smooth as possible until the bullet leaves the barrel which is around 1/8 inch of rearward movement. If the lugs are locking up at fraction of a second offsets from one another the muzzle moves and this phenomenon can be seen with high-speed photography but it can't be explained here without a huge debate.
Today's younger shooters make much better quality videos than us old timers they just don't know why the stuff that works actually works and his "Ultimate Reloader" name has nothing at all to do with reloading. He gave himself that title to explain how one of his guns cycles. I only know that because I asked him as he clearly isn't a top of the line Reloader.
