The cylinder to forcing cone gap is controlled by the barrel wedge; the further in, the smaller the gap. That being said, however, there is no single position that works best for every gun; each needs to be taken on it's own.

I disagree sir. If you have a
short arbor you can use the wedge to close up the barrel gap if it is excessive. If the arbor to barrel lug fit is correct and the frame length is correct then you well have the correct .007+/- barrel gap with out the wedge installed. The wedge is the secure the barrel to the arbor, nothing else.
Most c&b revolvers I have handled have a short arbor and the wedge well control the barrel gap but that does not make it correct. It does work and for many shooters it is the easiest solution.
