I went out shooting today, and I had a problem with my Taurus 605B .357 snubby revolver. I shot about 20 rounds through it, and then my cylinder froze up. Upon inspection, I noticed a chunk of jacket and lead bullet right wedged in between the bore and the cylinder. I dug this chunk of the bullet out of the crack, and the cylinder was free again. I reloaded and shot another 10 rounds, and released the cylinder again. Yep, just as I suspected, another chunk of the jacket and lead bullet was crammed in the crack right above the bore. I dug it out with the tip of my knife again and stopped shooting it. What could be causing this, the cylinder is performing as it should with no noticable slack that is out of the ordinary. Is one of the cylinder bores out of line with the barrel of the gun causing it to scrape part of the bullet off when that exact round is fired? This is the only thing I could come up with, I've never seen this problem on a revolver before. Thanks in advance, I am open to any advice.
