[6.5 shooter]

I have used trigger gauges in the past. Now I just use my trigger finger. Pull slowly, eyes closed, feel the trigger. Make sure in breaks clean. Once your happy, then give it the rubber mallet test or the bump it on the floor test. Once it passes those, I then use a RCBS tester to double check. Most of my triggers come in at pretty acceptable and safe weights and feel good while doing it. Takes more time but I think it is worth it. Crisp, break like glass, trigger breaks are much better, then soft mushy, light trigger, no matter how light they may be set.
