Jross, you might try polishing the chambers of your gun with Flitz or Simicrome (or toothpaste) on a patch over a dowel or bore mop.

I have had 2 44 Bulldogs. Both were made around 1973. Still have one and
it is my carry gun. I shot 20 grs. "2400" with a 200 gr. JHP Thousands of times. Gun is still just as tight as when new. This load really gets attention!

FWIW, I have had a "Charter Arms, Shelton" sn77xxx for over a year now (bought new), carried for more hours than I can guess with about 1000 rounds through it and except for being a bit smoother now, still just as tight as when new with 2" offhand groups at 20 yards all day long. I know it will not stand up as my S&W 696 has, but no failures yet and it carries much better for CCW.

You shoot that load in a CA Bulldog? Yes, I bet it gets attention - medical attention for the shooter! That's way over the limit!

It's a hand grenade. 24gr is max for .44 Magnum. No disrespect intended, but I seriously doubt any Bulldog has seen "thousands" of rounds of 20gr of 2400 under a 200gr bullet.

Well it most certinly has. I talked to Doug, the president of the company
back in 1972 or 1973 and told him what I was doing. He told me I could not
blow up the little gun with "2400". The only reason I stopped with 20 grs. I
could not get anymore powder in it. If I told you how much "2400" I put in
a .45 Colt case you would really get excited. There were some boys up in
Montana or in that area that were loading 30 grs H-110 in .45's This was years ago. The above information is just for information only !! Do not use!
