Loaded up my first batch of 357 this week, and went to try them out. Of the five, two were light strikes and didn't fire. One fired on a second try, the other took two tries before it fired. The gun was a Taurus 605. I've shot hundreds of rounds of commercial stuff through it, mostly 38, some 357. I've been reloading 38, and its shot my 38 reloads just fine.
But my 38 reloads all have WSP primers. I used CCI 500 for the 357 reloads.
Between the possibilities of a weak spring in the 605, and CCI primers having a reputation for hardness, I'm going to try the same loads with WSP primers and see if they work okay. As I said, the WSP primers have all gone bang with my 38 reloads in this gun.
Anything else to look into?
