I'm new to CAS.
I've got a little problem:I bought a Ruger 357 Vaquero in Stainless. I love it. Better than my Kimber .45!
I start practicing with 38 special lead reloads from Miwall
I run 400 rounds through the gun in about 2 weeks - my accuracy is getting worse, not better
I notice I can't seat a 357 shell inthe gun (sticks out about 1/8 inch)
I pull the cylinder to clean it. I try a couple of different solvents and bore brushes. I work on it a loooooong time.
I still seem to have a .38 special insted of a 357 as the 357 round WILL NOT seat.
Very distressing.
Observations so far:
1. Hoppes No. 9 is NOT a lead solvent, as it claims on the label.
2. Apparently,I'm not going to fix this with solvent
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
