Alright folks an update. I used a new basic smith and wesson revolver arm and a new extractor. I think the arm was perhaps for a different model because the pin that goes through the trigger was too long but I filed it down to fit. I got everything working. Ill be honest, I don't...

Thank you very much for the very informative illustration. Also thank you for the brass tip, I didnt even think about that one.

Thank you. Also looking at my old ratchet I have some ratchet teeth that have a pronounced bevel between the vertical and the horizontal part of the tooth. Radiused corner instead of sharp.

The wear on my original ratchet is wildly different on two ratchets compared to the rest. New hand and new ratchet is something that I dont mind screwing up. The carry up on my old hand and ratchet slowly got bad as the rounds and dry fire piled on.

I have the Khunahusen(sic?) manual. I had to order a whole cylinder assembly to get the extractor. I got just the regular S&W arm.

Hey folks I have a 627 that had too many fast and hard DA rounds and dry fire through it. The extractor ratchet surfaces are messed up. I got new extractor and new hand. No I am not sending it to the factory, this is my hobby and I enjoy learning. Obviously with new hand and extractor when I...

Just a quick update, pushed out my OAL to 1.525 and back off the crimp to just enough to remove the belling so it no longer leaves an impression on the bullet. Made a big difference back to 4" off hand groups.

In my Dan Wesson I just screwed the barrel in slipped the shroud over that and tightened the barrel nut up front. The barrel nut kept the tension on the barrel and kept everything tight.

Nope, I cant push it through either, I have to spend some time hammering it through. Edit: Pushed several bullets through and measured their diameter, most chambers size it down to .357 and two size it down to .3575

Used the caliper checked the chambers after cleaning them .355 to .356

Are you planning on shooting any lead bullets?

I am using PMC 38 special brass cases, 160gr RN bayou bullet (lead polymer coated), solo 1000 powder. I am getting great results with this powder and bullet manufacturer in my 9mm handgun. I thought that I was having a bad day so I pulled out my old 8" Dan Wesson cheater gun I fired my load...

Sorry what I was trying to say is that I want to stick with my powder and bullet of choice.

I know for a fact that I can shoot better than my current hand loads :)

I will load myself with cherry wine and mead, will attempt to go and load some ammo only to be told by wife that the "fun" room is off limits when I am drunk :)

Hey guys, those of you that reload for 38 special, I have some questions. When you develop a load if you exclude the bullet and the powder choice what do you tweak to get improved accuracy?

Holy AGI batman shilling! Hey AGI do you guys have staffers shill or an "online reputation management" company?

I think you just answered OP's question. "Stay away from it not worth the hassle or the danger, bead blast is a better and safer alternative."

To imitate a bead blast finish per his post.
