I can safely say that I have never had to have someone else re-assemble any gun I have taken apart. It may take me a while to do it, but I always get them back together. They usually work--correctly!--when I do get them together, too! :D

Re: .357 reloads for Rossi 1892

My sources indicate that 6.9 Bullseye is a bit hot even for a .357 Mag. I don't have the Speer manual, though. The most I see is 6.8 Bullseye for a 158-gr. bullet, and that's a max load.

I'd take the wood back off and see if you can put the band on and start the screw without the wood. Then try putting the band on just the wood. That way you should be able to see where the interference is.
