I bought a used 44 mag Redhawk. It's the 4th I've owned.
The issue is that with reloads, the cylinder binds up in rotation after it heats up. It doesn't do it with factory ammo. Just reloads.
I initially used pre fired brass and after I discovered the issue, was careful to make sure I seated the primers especially carefully. It didn't help.
So then I used only new, unfired brass. It still binds.
I have a 3 screw Super Blackhawk and never had that problem.
I have two S&W 29-2 revolvers and never had that problem.
I haven't miked it yet, but maybe the gap between the cylinder and breech face is less than it should be?
Suggestions?
