Your 66 is more likely to have digestive issues if it's a frame mounted pin dash# when using a light weight. But even those with the hammer mounted pins may give issues? That's where the experimentation comes in. I've got an old 4 screw K-38 that has a lock time you need a sun dial to measure, but it lights everything put in it. Some others to get that light, may only work with Federal primers? Grab some WinClean, S&B or MagTech among others if you want to try for real world adequate hit strength. So, what I do anymore is simply smooth the action aspects while keeping the standard mainspring in place, as others have already mentioned. I always try to avoid changes other than smoothing on a carry gun. Just for reliability.
