MG and all
Well in the words of the famous Pogo
"I have found the enemy and he is I"......I think.
It is amazing when you open your eyes and look. For some reason this gun hates primers that are even a bit high . On the range today I was having the same problem ...not the one where I can't hit anything ...this problem with the gun locking up.
A close (er) visual inspection showed that primers were binding in two spots on the back plate (
) of the gun . You could load a round and watching it as you turned the cylinder . A primer well seated ,,no problem . But one just a tad out of depth and STOPAGE!.
In the other RNV they were no problem.
So
1. Is it the primers ( I think that is the majority of the problem)
2. Is the back plate in need of a little stone work ...AND is that advisable?
The primer issue I have resolved . I was having problems seating primers on my press with some of my other rounds for my Navys. So I purchased an RCBS primer which allows you to put good consistent pressure.
So the rest of the range trip went well . I watched and when loading this gun if a round would bind up I simply removed it ...and no problems.
I hope that is my issue .. Cause I Love these Rugers!!
