Aloha folks, I got a question. Just picked up from Gunbroker.com one of the old style Ruger .44 carbine, the one with the tubular mag. My local gun shop was out of 44 mag, so i had to go to the variety store and all they had was CCI Blazer. It feeds wonderfully manually, fired well, but the empty casing wouldnt eject all the way. Cleared the jam, loaded another in and fired, this time it ejected properly but it wouldnt chamber another round. Tried that about 6 times all with the same result, on round seven the shell failed to eject all the way again. Did some searching and thought it was a plugged gas port. Did a thorough cleaning, found that it was filthy and put it back together. Stopped by a friends house and he had 2 rounds of 44mag of unknown origin. Went to my pasture, loaded 4 rounds 2 of the brass and 2 of the CCI. Chambered the brass rounds first. Fired and ejected perfectly for the first 2 rounds, after the the second brass round fired and ejected, it chambered the CCI, fired and then wouldnt load the last CCI round, loaded manually, fired, then the empty case got stuck again. I am currently looking for another brand of ammo to try but im limited. So tell me what you guys think, have you heard of this before, why would the brass cycle fine but the CCI wont, I dont have much experience with the blazers before this, had to buy them out of desperation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
BTW, i live in the island of kauai in hawaii, only one hunting shop and one sporting goods store. thats why im limited.
Aloha
