Single-Sixer
I was shooting American Eagle 124 gr 9mm in my LCR9 and had one round in each string of five where one bullet unseated from its case. Ruger mentions the possibility in the LCR manual quoted below. I have a couple other brands an weights but I'd like to know if others have arrived at a good selection where this doesn't happen.
AMMUNITION CHECK
Due to the light weight of the LCR ®, inertial forces to ammunition during firing could possibly unseat a bullet from its crimp in the cartridge casing. The LCR ® has been tested with a variety of popular ammunition manufactured to SAAMI industry standards and has not demonstrated any tendency to unseat bullets. However, before placing the LCR into service, it is recommended that you:
1. At a range or other suitable location, fully load your revolver with the ammunition you wish to test in accordance with the safety and loading instructions in this manual.
2. Fire four of the five rounds in accordance with the safety and firing instructions in this manual.
3. Unload the four fired cases and the unfired round in accordance with the safety and unloading instructions in this manual. Closely inspect the unfired round for signs that the bullet has moved forward out of the case. For jacketed and lead bullets with a cannelure or crimp groove, check to see if the bullet has moved forward enough so that the case mouth is no longer located in the bullet cannelure or crimp groove. For lead bullets without a cannelure or crimp groove, there should be no detectable movement of the bullet. If the bullet has moved as just described, do not use that brand of tested ammunition, and repeat this test with another brand until one is found that the bullet does not unseat during this test.
4. After the test is completed, unload and store the revolver in accordance with the safety and storage instructions in this manual.
