Greetings,
I am facing a dilemna:
Components:
- Berry's plated bullets 350 gr
- 39 gr H110
- Wolf Magnum Large Pistol Primers
- Starline Large Pistol Brass (*-*-* is the stamp)
- I used Imperial wax to lube the exterior of the cases when I resized them.
gun : BFR 10 1/2" barrel
I made a few test rounds and they worked flawlessly. Then I made 200 rounds, checked the powder charge every 10 rounds one month and half ago.
Yesterday, we went to shoot the gun. I have 2 other kind of rounds (14 gr Unique with 350 gr LP Magnum, and 700 gr Lead gas checked under 26 gr H110 LR magnum) and they all shot perfectly.
Then we proceed to shoot the 350gr/39gr H110 rounds:
- Firsr round: click....3/4 seconds....bang. Hang fire.
- To make a short story: Second, third and fourth round click....pouf.... Bullet got pushed just enough to lock the cylinder.
I examined those rounds. The powder was part yellow and part looking normal.
I tested the primers by dissassembling 5 rounds and shooting them with no powder and no bullet in the dark. The gun produced at the muzzle a nice flash.
What do you think?
Thank you
