I had my 455 American out a few months ago to see how it would group, it wasn’t the worst that I have heard of, best 5 shot group was in the low .6 but most were .7 to .8 inches at 50m. I decided to get the Yodave trigger kit and it sat in my parts bin for months. Last week I ordered the striker spring so I put in that and the lightest trigger spring, I also put the rifle in a varmint stock hoping that the flat forend would sit in my rest a little better. I also put on a Bushnell 6-18x50 scope purchased of a CGNer to help see the target a little better.
I had it out today to test some different types of ammo, I used eley, RMS, SK and Federal auto match. Couldn’t be happier with the improvement in group size! Here are a few photos of the better groups I shot.





I still had a couple that were .7 to .8 but I couldn’t get anything this good before. The original trigger had no creep but it broke at around 3 1/2 pounds, it now consistently breaks around 10 oz. these groups were shot with SK match and SK pistol match.
