Problem with my Buckmark

[eastwood44mag]

It's a wonderful gun. Shoots well, easy to handle, nice balance....but it hates me.

Every second or third shot, I get bits of burning powder on my hand. Got some on the other hand yesterday.

Advice? Thanks.

Hi Eastwood...

Might be the ammo.

Sounds like crappy ammo that doesn't burn completely. I get some spatter from my .22s, but VERY little.

I have this happen with crappy ammo (Remington bulk box, and similar) both in my Buckmark pistols and my 22LR bolt guns. I always assumed it was primer goombah, since that's the part of the casing that's not completely encased within the chamber.

Did I mention that the Remington bulk crap is really bad with this?

So the consensus is "stop shooting Remington ammo"?

Guess that's the cause. Guess I have to switch over to Winchester.

My Buckmark doesn't like Remington ammo. It seems to love Federal though.
