(This is not a video

I shot 550 rounds through my brand new Benjamin Fortitude to "settle the regulator" …it must have worked. Here are my results testing the first 3 of 10 different pellets, (including H&N FTT's), once my first 550 shots were done. 

These groups are 10 shots each, .22 cal Fortitude (broken in) at 35 yards. I sat down, shot these 3 groups on the first try, these are not my best groups of the day, they are my ONLY groups of the day. 

I guess the Fortitude made me look pretty stupid today (some of you know why). -Nate

I think you could have saved 550 shots if you just would have started with JSB pellets. ? 

Walmart is not what I would consider my pellet source. ?

I actually started with the same 18 grain JSB pellets in my first video...they were grouping about the size of a 50 cent piece. Big difference now. Can't wait to shoot the H&N's today!

I got the Baker trigger sitting right here. I'll try and install it this weekend and make an instructional video. I hope I can do it. I'm kind of afraid to try.

I shot those groups with the stock trigger but I'm definately going to install the Baker trigger.

If you have a Dremel or sharpening stones polish up the sear contact points while it's apart. Don't remove metal, just a nice smoothing out. His triggers have always been a very positive upgrade when I've used them.

Cool. I'll try that polishing for sure. That gun is going to be sweet with that trigger.
