Bought a new 4" heavy barrel assembly for a 1978 Dan Wesson Model 15-2.

As I said in post#1, the following range trip I shot 150 rounds with the same revolver using Winn SPP and all fired first strike. No FTF

I stand corrected. Can I blame it on 73 year old eyes? Sorry for the misinformation I posted and correcting me.

Don't think it's possible to seat too deep. Once it bottoms out it's fully seated properly. Not fully seated the primers move away from the hammer when struck resulting in FTF.

After expounding on my very positive experience with S&A primers I feel I should relate my last range trip results with S&A SPP. Six out of 50 38spl rounds FTF on the first strike. Three fired after two or three additional strikes. Three never did fire after several strikes and will be pulled...

S&W Model 64-5 38spl, Model 65-2 357 Magnum, Ruger Speed Six 38spl & Ruger GP100 357 Magnum

To each his own, but I clean my revolvers thoroughly after every range trip. I just got done with one and while cleaning the cylinder chambers I noticed the ejector rod had come loose. Would've been a PIA if it happened at the next range trip and backed out enough I couldn't open the cylinder...

When carrying a revolver it's a 3" S&W Model 65-2 357. I chose to carry the Model 65 over my Speed Six 2 3/4" because I shoot it better especially rapid fire. When I choose a semi auto it's a PC Sheild 9. When traveling to the inner city it's both.

Is it one particular chamber that is causing the headspace/dragging/binding? Maybe one case head not seated fully & standing too proud? I totally understand your disappointment but wondering if the cause could be something simple.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. You should be good for another 100,000 miles with the new equipment.

Beltman came today and most likely the last one I'll ever need judging from the one I've been unable to wear out.

Put 150 rounds of 158gr Xtreme RNFP over 4.3 grains HP-38 through a 1978 Dan Wesson Model 15-2 357 at the indoor range.

I bought another gun belt from Beltman. Double layer bull hide w/stiffener like the one I've worn daily for @8 years. Didn't need it but was on sale. Great belts reasonably priced.
