I have a 66-7.
Went to the range today with an asssortment of 38spl & 357 Magnum rounds, made by Magtech, Winchester, Remington.
All ammo was purchased new within the last year.
The gun failed to fire about 6% of this ammo on the first strike.
I marked the offending cylinder's with a Sharpie. There were two of them. I will call them "one and four o'clock".
The primers had what looked like full size and centered primer hits and did not ignite the first time and sometimes the second time through.
From testing the gun with the "revolver checkout" gotten from another post, the 66 seems to be ok.
I wont be able to get it to a gun smith until next week.
I might contact S & W and see what they say.
ANY ideas??
thanks in advance.
