I just got a new Lyman electronic trigger pull gauge, and I don't think it is reading correctly. The readings seem way too low to me.
I do have one of the old-fashioned Wheeler spring models as well that is probably only about 6 months old, and it i reading about 2X the readings from the new Lyman.
Before anyone asks, I have it set for lbs/oz and not kg/g.
I don't expect either to be 100% accurate, and I get that the values will vary depending on how the gauge is placed on the trigger, pull technique, etc., but the values are *consistently* way low, almost to where I think they need to be doubled.
For example, on my STI 2011 that Allen M. has worked on for me is reading at about 1 lb 7 oz pretty consistently on the Lyman, but it comes in at about exactly 3 lbs on the Wheeler gauge. I know he had it set at about 3 lbs after he was done.
I also checked a new SIG P320, and on the Lyman, I am getting pretty consistently around 3 lbs 10 oz, and on the Wheeler, about 7 lb.
Something is definitely fishy here, but I am not sure how to test or calibrate either unit.
Any suggestions here?
Thanks in advance.
