Thank you for the quick replys.
I cleaned the cylinder chambers with a Brownells stainless steel revolver cylinder brush after a going over with a Lewis Lead Remover kit. No issues with residue under the extractor star. Happens with a clean gun.
The 230gr. FMJ factory loads and 200gr. H&G 68 LSWC reloads fit into the chambers without the moon clips and work fine. My 225gr. LFP reloads require some pressing to fully seat into the chamber, (O.A.L little too long)but work fine after this. They are not tight going in, just stop before totally seating.
I have two thicknesses of moon clips that came with the 625-3, .039" and .048".
The .039" work with all of the ammunition, even the 225gr. LFP that need some pressing to fully seat.
The .048" bind with everything and if you do not seat the 225gr. LFP beforehand, the cylinder will not close into the frame window.
The b/c gap is a loose .003, .004 will not fit. The endshake is minimal.
So, I figure that the headspace is set up for the .039"-.040" moon clips and the internal specs of the chamber are on the tight side for my reloads. I'll have to adjust things to work reliably.
Tom E, I'll try the Ranch Products moon clips since you measured them and they are on the thinner side.
The 625-3 is alot like my 617 10 shot, more attention is needed on residue in and around the chambers and extractor star, but shoot very well.
Sure received alot of good information and appreciate it.
Regards,
Gregor
