I have a confession… not proud to admit it.

[Two Gun Warrior]

No it is after the forcing cone and extends about 1/4" past the frame.
Basically where the barrel is screwed into the frame.

When i send a soft lead slug down the barrel muzzle end first and lots of lube in the barrel and on my lead the muzzle end is tight for the first push until the lead gets swaged down by the barrel.
It gets easier to push now until I get just mm from the frame then it gets hard to push that lead slug so hard in fact I can no longer push it by hand with my wooden dowel rod.

Basically stuck.
I have to get a small hammer and tap tap tap the dowel rod to get the lead to go that last 1" or so.
Then it drops out of the forcing cone area.

Now I take that slug that is now form fit and line it back up with the rifling at the muzzle and push it through again.
SO much easier to push through right up to the frame area and then i need to apply more force to get through.

So then i begin fire lapping the barrel.

6 rounds and then clean the barrel and push that slug through again.
I keep doing the fire lapping until that slug has the same tension at the frame junction as the rest of the barrel.
I then make a new slug for the barrel and push it through and see what I get.

Took just about 75 rounds of fire lapping bullets to do the 357 TALO.
Just about 1/2 that for the Ruger 357

Hope that explains it a bit better.

Thanks, I will try slugging a couple of mine and see what I get. I have some older 686 and 586 form the 80s. Also my 629 classic hunter that I shot PPC with, shoots real good. I do shoot jacketed bullets, Just stay with one load.

Why would they leave that there.... I guess to better frame the question. Is there a reason for the tight spot?

I heard it was a byproduct of threaded in pistol barrels.
Some say you can shoot that restriction out with a lot of regular jacketed ammo 5000+ rounds or was it 50,000 rounds.
Either way I want it gone as it really hurts cast lead performance.

Thanks for the link. Will check it out while listening to the OCAPA net

I have zero experience with Taurus revolvers, but that is one of the nicer ones they make.

Here is an oldie. 1984 I got it in 1985. Shoots smooth, shoots good. An RV/Jeep/Motorcycle/ATV/UTV of some sorts has been its holster its whole life. And close to a million miles of travel RV, Goldwing and traveling. It has a lot of history for me.

 

[OHJEEZE]

Ok, why do 90+ % of competition shooters shooting revolvers choose S&W?

Of all the revolvers I ever picked up, S&W has (had) the most consistant factory trigger pulls.

And they are (were) probably one of the easiest to make that pull even better!

But really it is just because they look so good!
Who wants to be seen on the line with a ugly revolver!

What really matters is that you are happy as can be with it!

Hope it is a good chooter for you!

I didn’t buy one! If I did I wouldn’t tell y’all anyways!

It’s like a fat girl and a moped. They’re both fun to ride you just don’t tell your friends about it!

Well in that case, save your pennies and buy a S&W

You wish you could get a fat girl on a moped to look your way ugly! Get you a Taurus 605 and wear it with pride!
