    I agree with Lysander. You can get inaccurate readings if you don't release pressure as soon as the trigger breaks when using a standard trigger pull gauge. Use a certified weight like the one depicted in his photo or a verifiable source of weight that does not require consistent pull by the user.

    I currently use a home made rod that transfers energy from a water bucket to the trigger. Once the trigger breaks, the rod and bucket filled with water gets weighed. This technique is much more consistent than using the RCBS and Lyman trigger pull gauges I gave away.

    You can also do it with a string and a bucket.

    Then weight he bucket, water and string with a fish scale.
