Well, I got out to the range with my Buckeye 32 combo. I figured I'd start slow and easy with some Winchester Factory ammo in 32 S&WL. Uh-oh, hard extraction from two or three chambers out of each cylinder full! They would come out half way then lock up. I couldn't even pull them out by hand. I had to take the cylinder out and use a rod to push them out.
I then tried a couple of cylinders full of 32 H&R and the empties practically fell out. They showed no signs of dragging or catching in the chamber. This baffled me completely. I've heard lots of stories about people shooting 38s followed by 357s and having problems where the cylinder gets bulged at the 38 Spl case mouth and the 357 case bulging into it.
OTOH, why would the shorter case stick halfway out while the longer cases don't stick at all? I have to admit to being baffled. Has anyone had a similar experience or can anyone suggest how I should proceed?

PS No, it wasn't the 32-20 cylinder by mistake!
