I'm assuming your Dragoon is an Uberti. The cylinder arbor is a taper on the part that goes into the barrel lug. If you get even a little fouling in the barrel lug it will jam things up, it will also bind up if you tap the wedge to hard as you are forcing two tapers together. With the wedge properly fitted you should just start to feel resistance as the radius on the end of the wedge clears the far side, then a light tap to set and lock it assuming your barrel is all the way on and the bottom lug is contacting the frame. Uberti uses a properly designed wedge system but it is not always fit correctly. To fit it you file a very small amount off the tapered side towards the muzzle maintaining the taper until you get the fit I mentioned. This is generally only a very few thousandths of an inch.
