And You can send your revolver to Cylinder and Slide and have the barrel set back to narrow the barrel-cylinder gap. I sent my own 500 S&W in to Cylinder and Slide for an action job and they found what they deemed to be an excessively wide cylinder gap. The barrel was removed and the barrel set back to .005 which is modest and not too tight, but better than .009 or more that it was.


Appreciate the response. I'm assuming by 'no comparison' with the heavier bullets, you mean the fps gap would be even greater. Seems to me cylinder gap would play even a bigger role when trying to get 300+ grain bullets moving. Am I misunderstanding you?
