I've seen it posted before but can anyone remember the metric screw size for the set trigger adjustment? Thanks in advance.

I can't, but I don't recall finding it in the manual either. I simply took the screw into our local hardware store, found a nut to match and used that to establish thread pitch. Then picked up one longer.
One point worth adding. The next size screw is too long by about 3/16". I had to clip it down and dress the threads. Longer than the Lyman, but not so long that it stuck down too far when installed. Wish I could recall the zact amount I clipped, but it's easy enough to install the screw too long, measure and decide where to clip on your own.
Try this per the Owners Manual pg 23 lower right corner "Set Trigger Assembly,Components, Dwg Pc.Mk.Item 51, ,description "Adjustment Screw" part number 6030164, now with that in hand ,contact Lyman direct for general technical service or as a last resort, DIXON MUZZLELOADING,Lyman's national warranty repair station,Repair and Warranty Service 610-756-6271

Just be careful you don't end up with a dupe replacement. It's waaay too short for the intended job.
That factory one being too short is a problem so most folks replace it.
Just take the trigger out and go to the hardware store.
I had it here but I can't find it, I can't remember it it's 2mm or 2.5mm but I do remember I got one 8mm long.

Contact the reference for the size/diameter/length,the adjust accordingly.If you order a part you will get an exact duplicate of the one you have..Prevents Lawyer from calling.Funny thing about metric sizes,,screws/bolts come it two different pitches,,go figure,,
I don't think a 5.5 X 8mm can be right.
5.5mm is .217 inches in diameter. That's bigger than the a #10 (.190) screw.
The Davis triggers is a good suggestion but only if the gun is worth putting another $50 or so into it.

Same here. After getting the right screw in there, I was still unhappy with the heavy, course un-set trigger pull. Since most of my shots are quick with no time for the niceties of a set trigger anyway, I didn't want to be obligated to set the trigger every time for a good pull.
The Davis fixes that, and how!
