I haven't needed to do that.
The only rounds I do that on is LR rifle loads and then only once in every 5 or 6 firings.
Do it every time.
The target will tell you to do such, trust me.

I wet tumble with spent primers in place. In the winter they go into the oven at 245 for at least a half hour. Summer time back yard in the sun, it doesn't take long. The brass will be very hot to the touch. I haven't had a stuck primer for at least 6 or 7 years. I recently tumbled about 10 gallons of brass in a two week period.

PS I have wet tumbled with Dawn and Lemi Shine a few brass inadvertently with live primers everyone went bang when dried out.
If you remove the primer, before case tumbling.
You will also clean the primer pocket, which leads to easier and more uniform primer seating.

If you can, seat and crimp in 2 separate stations.
Make sure you are using enough case mouth flare to let the bullet enter.

Had the same experience when working on a buddies hammerless Sharptail.
Asked to buy a spare set of hammer springs(coil type).
CZ sent 2 complete sets, of ALL the internal springs at no charge.

Been having some bad primers lately; do the go-around once, twice and still no bang. Sucks the primers have gone up so much and I'm getting more bad ones than I ever had. So, it occurred to me, what if I knew I'm having this problem, do the once-around then open the gate, pull one off my belt and fire to complete the pistol string. Would I be correct in calling a malfunction and laying the pistol down and proceeding; even though I've completed the pistols correctly? Think I know, just wanna get some feedback. Thanks. RM
What brand?
What gun mods?
Try the rounds in another gun.
Today's Federals, are not as 'soft' as they use to be.

NO, not 'normal' in any way.
Stop shooting it, until repaired.

Old hammer is laying on top of the new hammer in the close up photo. It's easier to see in person than capture in a photo but the new hammer has a lot more meat on it than the old one.
In the last 2 photos the new hammer is on the right.
Your heavier trigger pull weight, is because of the angle the full cock notches are cut at on the new hammer.

Is that the new hammer?

I remember Mom getting all over me about the skate board riding I did.
That was before I found out Mom was a WWII, WASP.

What gauge are you asking about?

Pretty much any Judge or Magistrate can.

It is NOT the trigger spring!
My bet, the trigger is worn.....

I prefer the original Vaqueros, but I have owned a few New Vaqueros. When I stopped Cowboy Action Shooting I used my original Vaquero and my New Vaquero.
The original Vaquero has SBH hammer, a 19# hammer spring and a 40 oz trigger spring.
EDIT: It’s a .45 Colt. I used Bear Creek Supply 205 grain RNFP bullets over 7.7 grains of Universal powder. That load runs about 900 FPS.
My SASS .44 load is 6.5gn of Unique, w/240gn moly coated RNFP from Bear Creek Supply in a mag case.
Runs about 840 fps from the Rugers, and just under 1K fps, from my 20" Marlin.

What's the caliber, and the modifications you have, or had done?
Mine, blued/CCH 5 1/2" bbl, .44 mag, Power Custom half cock conversions. Using 17lb Wolff hammer springs and 30oz trigger return springs.
Still run'n the t'bars.
Wearing checkered walnut gunfighter grips.
Thanks for your time!

Good. She showed nothing but an apathic, why me attitude during the entire episode. Hopefully she'll never be permitted to touch another firearm again for the rest of her life due to being a felon. I hope Baldwin's fate follows the same course of action.
Even more so when you see who her father is

Here's a short video that hope goes to show exactly what's happening -
That's 'over-rotation'.
Is it the same chamber each time?

I've got me some problems
Guns are stainless .38/.357s and are all original except for lighter hammer and trigger springs put in two years ago when both pistols were bought new. No other modifications have been made (except for the addition of pearl grips).
As soon as I took the pistols out of their bags this morning and picked one up I could recreate the problem by cocking the hammer quickly. I thought "That was lucky I picked the problem gun up first" ...... until I picked up #2 and could recreate exactly the same problem
The cylinders are rotating and stopping about 11.30 from 12 o'clock roughly around the 5th cocking (but not always the 5th). I can then manually rotate the cylinder clockwise that small amount and here everything click into place.
Operating both pistols slowly and more methodically it doesn't happen, but as soon as there's speed and force pulling the hammer back it happens. So my daughter in law must have been going like this. Now my wife isn't like the Uberti gorilla that puts in the screws at the Uberti factory by any means!
Feel pretty flat, not sure why this has happened all of a sudden? My wife is shooting them (she's competitive and scores well) like she always has (no slip hammering).
Where do I go from here pards? Is this something that is possible for me to fix? We don't have the luxury of easily accessible gunsmiths here that are experts on these pistols.
Thanks one and all for the help.......any advice on what to do now?
Could the cylinders been switched?
