    More fun with the RAP

    Good results today at the range

    I was testing H322 as I have a good supply, the Speer 120 Gold Dot, Sierra 130 Game Changer and Sierra 107 MK.

    Range Data: 100 yards, 55 degrees, overcast, little to no wind.
    All groups shot with sandbags front and back except the first one. I wanted to save my shoulder from some pain but after seeing that first group I had to ditch the lead rest.

    Mods to the gun = JB weld in the mag well for better magazine fitting, and Wolf Spring in trigger = 32 ounce trigger pull.
    No problems feeding, extracting etc. No pressure signs from the brass.

    All load use Hornady brass, CCI 450 primers

    Nice shooting/Great results! And your loads and data duly noted!
    Where did you pick up your Wolfe Spring for the RAP? Brownells?

        I was testing H332 as I have a good supply, the Speer 120 Gold Dot, Sierra 130 Game Changer and Sierra 107 MK.

        I am assuming you mean H322, you have H332 written.

          I cut a spring equal in length to the original RAP one from the Wolf Light-Duty 4-8 English that is from the kit.
          https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...prod26210.aspx.

          Although the kit is $31.00 or so it is a good value if you have more than a few guns. There is a good spring for triggers of Browning A-bolts in the kit as well (The Timney A-bolt trigger springs are $28.99 for 2 springs).

          After installing the new trigger spring in the RAP it can be adjusted lighter than the 2 pound pull I prefer.

          This is just information about my RAP and may not be safe for anyone else etc. etc. don't sue me if bad things happen!

            I'm not clear about your question. (Got it now! H322 yes!)
            I tested H322 with the 120 Gold dots, 120 Sierra GK, 107 Sierra MK.
            Also tested Win 748 and CFE 223 for some of the loads. (130 Sierra Game Changer)
            Sorry if in the pics my writing on the target is messy!

              Hodgdon has H322 and H335 powders, haven't heard of an H332...
              is this something new or a typo?

                  I am gonna be trying some H322 next. I have tried N133 with the 107 and 120 Sierra bullets, and it shot them less than 1/2" @ 100.

                    You live in PA and asking where to buy Wolfe Springs? Wolfe Springs is in PA.
