I have a 357 New model Blackhawk that doesn't seem to be a fan of 38spl. After firing all 6 and opening the loading gate the cylinder gets very hard to rotate sometimes. It almost seems like the fired primers must stick out a tad more than the unfired ones. Seems weird and it does this on various brands of ammo. Oddly enough, I have some Remington 357s and there is no problem with that ammo.
As far as I can tell, The point of binding is right where the 1st fired round starts to come back up to the top by the firing pin. Occasionally the binding is so bad that removing the whole cylinder is the only way those shells are coming out.
The gun is very clean and unfired rounds spin freely with the loading gate open, its just that the fired ones don't....
Seems to me, that the back of the cylinder might be a tad too close to the breech face. Anyone know what the tolerance should be? And is the easiest was to fix this would be to do what?
