Which Wolf spring hammer/trigger weight to use on my Ruger Super Redhawk?

[His lordship.]

I ordered my Wolf shooter's spring pack for my Super Redhawk today, should get it next week.  I am getting 4.5 lbs trigger pull with the gun in single action, this is too heavy.  The factory setting for the springs is 14 lbs for the hammer, and return spring is 15 pounds.

According to Wolf, the hammer springs come in 9, 10, and 12 lb.  The return spring is 10 and 12 pound.  As the hammer spring is a challenge to replace, did my Single six a few weeks ago, I want to get the right spring installed for my needs.  The gun is mostly used for bench shooting, but plan to hunt with it.

If I go too light, I might get misfires, dangerous if I hunt wild bores.  Has anyone installed a kit like this, and what did they find to be right for them in the poundage rating?

Thanks.

  Chris    I did my RH last winter. What a wonderfully difference. I can easily tell the difference. i put the lightest springs that were in the package.
  So far I have only shot medium level plinking loads. If I do have a problem I can easily go back an put the heavier springs in. But from what I have heard from others the lite springs were OK.
  I went to Utube an watched how to change both springs. I had some worries about changing the springs till I watched the Utube. After watching the videos it was very easy.

Years back I did the hammer spring alone with my Redhawk; boy, was it ever slick....until I got too many misfires. I ended up using the heaviest one of the set, which was only a marginal improvement over the stock spring. But, that was back in the dark ages, YMMV.

It depends on what brand of primers you ae using.

In mine I use Federals exclusively, and I use a light spring. If I switched to CCI's I am sure I would have misfires.

Load some primers in to cases and see what works 100% of the time with chosen spring.

I used a 10# I think and it has been fine . touch up any rough spots while the gun is apart. I think just pulling a gun down and giving it a good cleanning will help .

While you have the gun partially apart, consider removing the hammer  and polishing any scratch marks off the sides by rubbing it across some wet lapping compound on a sheet of flat glass.  This is a simple thing to smooth the trigger pull out a bit.

Don't mess with the sear engagement surfaces. The best way to smooth them out is to just shoot it ;-)
