I had the samne problem and the correction is simple, drive the wedge inuntil it stops and then reverse direction and when the small finger touches the frame, stop. The cylinder should turn with no binding and the barrel clearence should be very close.
Doing that creates undue wear on the wedge. That much wedge showing might be alright on an older gun with some wear on it but not on a new one or one that hasn't been used much. Ideally you should have .006-.008 cylinder gap altho more wouldn't hurt. Too tight a gap and you won't fire many cylinders before it starts to bind. Just because it turns free when it's clean and unfired doesn't by any stretch of the imagination mean it'll turn once it's fouled.
