Folks--Need some advice--
Purchased a Ruger 357M GP100 MC (4.25") several months ago.. Excellent accuracy with 38SP, something my 357 Blackhawk never shot accurately... Want to start shooting IDPA SSR, so needed to move to a IDPA compliant DA.
Anyhoo -- Didn't care for the trigger pull on the GP100, not terrible by any means, but a lighter pull would be preferable. After some research decided to follow what many others have done, order the Wolff spring kit. I installed the 10lb main and 8lb return spring. Returned to the range and had 3 FTF round out of 100 (38SP w/Bullseye 2.9gr 148 coated BNWC - CCI 500 SPP). Second trip to the range (yesterday), and it went down to 52 FTF out of 100 !! Only difference was the second batch was from a different box of CCI primers (500 SPP).
Decided to take two courses of action:
1. Purchased 1000 Federal Primers to compensate for a lighter spring
2. Decided to install the 12lb main spring to improve reliability.
The Wolff 12lb spring is horrible, it feels stronger than the stock spring??
Now my options are to reinstall the stock spring, or switch back to the 10lb spring and start loading with Federal Primers....
Any input or advice from any other GP owners on how they tackled this issue, if at all?
Thanks !
