I have an older S&W "Highway Patrol" Mod 28 that is in good condition. I have a problem somtimes with the revolver not wanting to rotate when cocking. I first suspected I was not getting the brass sized properly and the rim of the case was sticking out from the cylinder slightly. I am now making sure the cases are fully in the cylinder, yet occasionally still experience a hard to rotate cylinder - even with hand assistance.
I see nothing that causes the cylinder to bind, but can't see the cylinder under the hammer. Makes the gun unreliable.
I would appreciate learning what may be the problem or if other have had this experience and possible solutions. Most likely It is something I am doing as the gun will rotate fine without shells in the cylinders.
as jjb2 mentioned,with a very light load the primers pop out,but the case has insuffecient pressure to slam back over the primer.You could slightly oversize some flash holes in a segregated small batch of cases and try that.I would start with about .080 dia.This is what has to be done for primer only rubber bullet loads for the very same reason.
