That made me scratch my head...
Any suggestions?...

Call Ruger and describe the problem, that cylinder isn't right. They need to fix that for you. Ask for a shipping label to send the gun back to them. 8) 8)

Federal 32 H&R brass was notorious for just that kind of failure.
I have experienced that failure not only with Federal 32 H&R but also with a box of Remington 357 once.
Even if Ruger replaces the cylinder I would be inclined to believe it was the brass and not the gun.

I tried different lots of the same AE 100 grain load, and they all hung up in the same hole. The other five would drop out with little effort, the sixth spent casing would be stuck requiring me to tap the rod ont he table to lift the shell out of the cylinder.
I too had hoped it was an ammo issue, but after indexing the cylinder I found it was a problem hole instead.

Will have a chance over the weekend to try this ammo lot in the Blackhawk to see what happens.

John, did you ever find out what the problem was, ammo or your new SP? :?:
