Lol man I missed this since I've been playing modern warfare 3.
Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear blue happy birthday to you.
My guess is a c o 2 cartridge....
I'm going to the old this month I'm gonna be 44 ohh my god.. november 23rd.
I was being a poop-head about "guess the object" It's a hawaiian guitar steel. Also sometimes known as a "bullet bar" in the Country lap steel world. Get it... Bullet Bar
I've had this for several years and have fired it many times, but only with .38 specials. I have on occasion loaded up some of the .357 mag shells I have and have had no problem with them loading or ejecting. However, the other day I tried loading some of the same .357s in and they wouldn't go all the way into the cylinder. I had to use some force to snap them in the last 16th inch or so, and if I loaded all six cylinders, it took considerable effort to get them out again.
to my knowledge there has not been any misfires or mishaps since I've had it.
any ideas what would make these rounds stick so badly where they didn't before?
I was hesitant to even try to fire some at the range in case there could be an issue that would cause a catastrophic failure.
It's one of two issues, neither is serious and both are easily remedied.
A) - There is a carbon ring of burned residue inside the chambers from the shorter cased .38-Specials. If the ring is there, longer .357 cases won't easily drop in. Take a fired .357 Magnum case and run it all the way into each chamber. This scrapes out the majority of each carbon ring, sometimes enough for you to begin shooting .357s without sticking. Better yet, scrape the chamber walls as described and follow with a good soaking of powder solvent and then use a .40-cal wire brush dipped in solvent.
B) - Some really out of spec ammo where the bullets are seated so long that the bullet ogive hits the forcing cone in every chamber. Try different ammo.
Either way, it's not the gun and don't worry about a catostrophic failure!
I agree with Nitesite, I had a similar problem with some 45 ammo, it would not chamber. An old-timer at my club field stripped my 45 and hand fit a few bullets in the barrel. As he suspected, it turned out that it was the ammo that had a problem. Way out of spec. Try a few new bullets from a different batch.
