Tight throats on 357 blackhawk

Anyone have this issue with their 357 Blackhawk? I just got my new one home and was checking throats with a coated 358 lead swc. Will not go through without real force. Haven't shot it yet, so will load some up and see what happens. If get a lot of leading, will have to send to Doug Guy to work over. Just checking to see if anyone has this on their 357. Any others?

Have you tried the fit of any FMJ bullets?

If it won't group and hold a clean barrel, it's the first thing I do, doug has been great everytime I send one, and very fast turnaround.

Did some more checking today. If throats are to tight on my Blackhawk, they are to tight on my 686 plus S&W also. Won't go through it either. Loaded up 30 rds. today and will give them a try tomorrow. Triker

Update, took it out shooting today. Run 50 rds. factory jacketed to sight in. Then had 30 rds. of reloads with swc and 2 different amounts of unique powder. Reloads shot well, no significant leading so guess the tight throats are not going to be a problem. Shoots nice. Loading gate a bugger to get open. Put a little oil on it, hope it eases up a little.

.358 sounds normal to me.

That loading gate should smooth out some with use. Sounds to me ya got a keeper! ps

I would recheck your bullet diameter.
