[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3093138, member: 3099"] You can always bend the main spring to where is a bit straighter. Also could cut a shim out of a coke can and put between the strain screw and main spring. You are close now. Federal primers are the softest, then comes Winchester. I think Remington makes one for reloaders that is softer than standard but I've never used them. Edit: I'm surprised you are getting light strikes. It's usual to be able to lighten up the main spring a fair bit before that happens as they over spring them by a lot. Might double check the moonclip thickness and end shake too.
