Over the weekend, I shot three old 32-20 revolvers. One Colt and two S&Ws. The S&Ws shot very well. The Colt however seemed to lock up and wouldn't allow the trigger to be pulled.
I suspected the cartridges were rubbing on the rear shield. Maybe a primer not deep enough, but they appeared correct.
Later, I resized the spent brass and they dropped right in and the gun functioned correctly. Then, I noticed the loaded rounds had a slight bullet bulge in the case neck. The cast bullets measured a correct .313". When I tried them in the chambers, some would not seat fully.
What can be done? Ream the chambers slightly? I'm open to ideas.
