This fellow is showing a reasonable amount of promise with 25.2 of BM2 & 35 grain bergers. If I could only get an aftermarket trigger to replace this bloody horrible Remington trigger at 2 & 1/4 lbs.

I want try ADI 8208!

Works very well in smaller cases.

It transformed my 17 Fireball, good speed and accuracy.

I swapped from BM 2 to 8208 in my 20PPC as well.

Extremely consistent.

Looking good there bb.

Have you had any luck finding a trigger? I have a Rifle Basix in my collection of bits.

Had a 20 practical. 39sbk’s over 3750 from memory with rl10x. Never got to try 8208 but it should work too.
