How about a wolf spring kit installed does that help a great bit. All I want is a lighter trigger for hunting not target competion.. Zacharoo

The lighter springs seem to work well and some (Not Me) will go as far as to remove the arm of one spring from it's top mounting underneath the grip handle and are happy with them.
(Some Will deem this to be a dangerous practice and I can see their point.
I think that the real cure is to go with the trigger job using the fine stones to polish up the point of where the sear releases which will get rid of the creep.
The creep seems to be the real enemy as it can be agonizing to try and hold that sight picture while picking up the .030-.040 of slack that can exist...I have gone as far as decocking the gun and trying again after spending seven or eight sec waiting for the trigger to break on those shots at a 3" steel that is 50yd to 60yd away. The weight of the trigger pull (for myself) has never been an issue with the Ruger revolvers.

The trigger jobs seem to be more expensive in this part of the country (midwest) and the cheapest from a shop that I was able to find was $85.00...The work from that shop was very good though and the Smith would take the time to go easy, disassembling more than once if nessary. The result can often lighted the overall pull but more importantly, will let that trigger break cleanly which will make your BH a joy to shoot.

I've had action jobs done on two Rugers by Mag-na-Port International and I must say those are the absolute best triggers I've yet seen or felt on a Ruger. I'm sure any custom smith who specializes in single actions can do as well but I doubt any better. Their price is quite reasonable really for what you get.

   I replaced the springs on both of my SBHs and my Security Six.  I used Wolf Springs and was very satisfied with the results.   I believe I spent $15 on the springs.  There was a trick to putting them in that I can't remember exactly I thing I had to hold the SBH upside down or something was misaligned. You can do the work yourself and save money.  If you aren't satisfied after that take it to a gunsmith.

Hi
  I take the grips off and cock the hammer, this compresses the hammer strut spring. then put a finishing nail in the hole in the strut. the nail will hold the spring compressed. Then pull the trigger and you will be able to remove the 
strut with the spring on it. push out the pin  unhook and   remove the trigger return spring.
Replace the trigger return spring and hook the spring arms over their anchor pins
and reassemble what you have removed. put the hammer strut back in and cock it. remove the finishing nail to release the hammer spring. put the grips back on and your done. I have a 2lb trigger on mine and it shoots perfect. The thing that makes it easy is using the finishing nail as a tool to hold the hammer strut spring compressed.
