Patrick1981 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I use a Wolff 11 Lb rebound spring, and cut it 2 circles (thanks 4Mike for advice) and I feel very well. But it depend revo by revo, for example on my 686-2 I feel good with a 12, if I go down I have a slow trigger return. I don't know now exactly how much is, maybe 8 or 9 Lb. In future I want try the Mike idea to use the Taurus spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This includes the usual stuff Apex hammer, extended firing pin, federal primers ect. After the hammer tension is achieved I adjust the rebound spring for feel. Once I have completed all this for a particular gun out of curiosity I check the trigger pull. What ever it is I know it's optimum for that particular gun given the rebound I like.

toothguy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 ..........Wolff sells 11lbs rebound springs....... wolff made 9 lbs for taurus 85 It looks like they also make a 6.5 lb spring as well. They include a rubber band with the spring to tie your finger to the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg in VA Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My Bianchi revolver is 4 3/4 lbs. I load on a Dillon 1050 so I can set the primers very deep and the gun works. My very heavy barreled PPC gun is 6.5 lbs. both guns are very smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awhile back I talked to Randy Lee and he suggested that the best results where obtained with a primer depth of 7 to 10 thousands. Sounds like I maybe getting a 1050.

EEH Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ok, I want a 2.5 lb trigger pull with very snappy return. ok I guess I ask for that one !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) All of my S&W revolvers are 5-5 1/2 lbs. All were done by Mike Carmoney. I also load Federal primers deep on a Dillon 1050 and do not have any ignition problems. I have a friend that hand primes all of his revolver loads and then finishes them on a 650 without the sizing die. All of his brass is roll sized and deprimed beforehand.

Hand priming sounds like a pain in the ass but I would probably do it for a 4.75 lb trigger with good rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I really want is all your knowledge. All settle for just the machining knowledge that you have forgotten...come on it's not like your going to be using it.

They include a rubber band with the spring to tie your finger to the trigger. no rubber band, superglue at the finger works better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
