Yesterday I picked up the stainless flat top BH convertible in 357/9mm. It looks great and is my first stainless Ruger BH since I sold my first Super BH from the 80's (which I sold after college when I was broke, sadly).
When I had it out for its photo shoot, I also tried loading some 9mm in the cylinder (it had that one installed from the factory). They drop in fine, but the cylinder won't rotate to load the next. The case rim is hitting the recoil shield. I pushed the rounds in firmly and there is no extra "give" to seat deeper. The only ammo I have tried so far is Federal Premium HST (pictured). I will try some others but don't have any in my hand at this second.
Looking forward to shooting it. Hope it doesn't have to go back to Ruger for repair.
