So I have a 4.25" 66-8 that I like a lot. Except factory pull weights were 4lb/5oz SA and 11lb/6oz DA...too heavy, though fairly smooth throughout. I installed a TK Custom (Wolff) mainspring and 13# Wilson rebound spring w/no other changes.
Now, pull weights are 2lb/15oz SA and (wait for it)...5lb/4oz DA! I haven't gotten it to the range yet, but wanted to run that DA pull weight by you guys on the forum. It's a thing of beauty...but is that too light, even if it does happen to ignite a variety of primers? I've gotten around 8.5lbs or so usually when swapping out the main and rebound springs like that...and I think 8lbs even is about the lightest, even with an 11lb rebound. Thoughts?
