I have seen the light and it looked like a 500 watt shoplight in my face. <!--emo&

Some polymer left, super black hawk and redhawk in stainless and 44 magnum coming in this week.
I will not be reloading till later this year, looking like winter after this expenditure. <!--emo&

I have researched this firelapping and reaming of the cylinders. I also can tell you I would rather not mess with these for months.
Is there any time frame when it is best to firelap a barrel. I figure if I get the will to mess with doing the barrel the cylinder gets done at the same time.
And with factory loads, all at least partially jacketed at the bottom, what should I look for besides bad groups. I have wad cutters as well as lots of jhp in a couple different weights. Nothing majorly expensive but a case and a half of variety.
I know if the shell seems to not want to come out that might mean a little polishing would help in the cylinder.
For a newbie who is used to used rugers in the gp series in 357 magnum what should I look for?
For those who remember, I asked about one or the other of the above firearms, as you can see I suck at making decisions. From jan. to now I talked myself into both. <!--emo&

'><!--endemo--> But I blame it on me and myself, I had nothing to do with it.
I read old posts and feel I have an ok grasp on this, but is there an article or something that explains this really really well?
