I was cleaning my Smith 520 today and noticed somehting funky going on on the cylinder face. Every so often I go over the front of the cylinder with a lead-away cloth to remove the built up lead and carbon. I noticed what looked like alot of buildup, but under better light noticed it was missing material.
***??
What causes this? Do I need to send my gun back to S&W...will they waranty this? I had a 360pd for years and never noticed anything like this...this gun has about 200 rounds through it!
Edit- I'm fairly sure it wasnt there after my last range trip. The only thing I shot today was 10 rounds of cast lead 125gr HP /w gas checks over 9.5 gr of Power Pistol. I noticed there was alot of flash, but this is a flashy powder. Should I discontinue this load period, or should it be OK in steel cylinders?
