I am not sure if I post in the right thread bit I need help identify the problem. I have 3 revolvers freeze up on me using reload. The first two in .357 Magnum with mixed head stamp brass 10.7 grains of W296 with Winchester standard smaller primer and 158 grains RNFP bullets. The revolver are S&W M19 and Ruger Security Six both with 4 inches barrel. After about 36 rounds each both revolvers freezes up , the cylinder release moved but I had to palm the cylinder open from the right side, couldn't pull the trigger or cock the hammer. The third revolver is Ladysmith M36 with the load using a same bullet above but .38Spl brass and 4.8 grains of IMR800X. My load data came from Lee manual. Ladysmith frozen up the same way. Upon returning home I sprayed the revolvers inside and out with WD40 and they worked afterwards. I never experienced anything like this before, I have been using Unique power for years and forced to use those two powder because of the shortage.
