Great Post! Thanks Jim!

I learned alot from this post.

1. I need a better set of feeler guages, mine only read down to .006.

2. Why my Ruger SRH .454's cylinder gets so darn tight. I had been seriously contemplating sending it back to Ruger and have drove my gunsmith batty trying to discover the ailment. I bet he knew but it was such a simple thing he overlooked explaining it to me.

The Cylinder gap on the SRH is very very small my .006 guage looks like a 2x4 when I tried to measure the gap in lockup. I have been shooting .45LC reloads in the gun, which I suspect causes even more crud to build up in the cylinder gap area. Next range trip I'll be usuing .454 reloads and make sure to clean the front of my cylinder every 36-48 rounds and see what happens.

Thanks Again, this makes me wanna go Revolver Shopping!
