I recently decided to take a second try at a big bore revolver. My first was a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in 480 Ruger. That revolver always had the cases get stuck in the cylinder hard. Multiple hits with a piece of wood to get them out hard. On about halfway through the 3rd cylinder it completely locked up because the fired case came back against the breach face and then stuck blocking the cylinder from turning or being popped out. After that I returned it to the gun shop that I bought it at and assumed it was just that gun. Fast forward to the present and I bought a Raging Judge. 45 Colt and 410 shells come out just fine but 454 Casull casings require a quick whack with a piece of wood to dislodge. They don’t stick as hard as the Alaskan did but it’s hard enough that doing it by hand gets painful long before they dislodge. Is this something that all guns with this high pressure of a round does or should I be worried that I’ve got a second dud in my hands?
