So I just got back from the range. I went out to shoot a new 44 special Charter Arms I picked up.
Ammo: Corbon 165gr JHP
I fired 13 rounds 4 of which seemed to be squibs...
first five #3 was squib
second five #4 & #5 were squibs
last five #3 squib and I just unloaded the last 2 live rounds and went back
to my 357 and 22 to make me feel better.
I was a bit excited over the whole thing so as i was reloading and checking the gun over I didn't keep good track of which cases they were. When I got home I found for cases with a noticeable amount of unburned powder. Not a great deal, but enough to catch the eye.
The bullets made it out of the barrel I'm assuming because its a snubby that it had enough umph to make it out. One even hit paper tearing a crazy tumbling hole.
I've never had any trouble with Corbon before at all, but on the way home I had a thought that it might not be all the fault of the ammo. This is a really light revolver for 44 special. Has anyone that has ever experienced bullet jump had it happen with the bullet moving out just enough to allow the cylinder still to turn?
I assume with the bullets slightly out of the casings the pressure would be significantly reduced but it was just a fleeting thought.
I guess more than anything I'm in denial because I've shot a lot of Corbon ammo, but this is the first Charter Arms I've ever shot.
Regardless I will be contacting Corbon to let them know.
I just wanted to see if anyone else had any input?
Has anyone had similar issues with Corbon recently?
Will slight bullet jump greatly reduce the pressure in a revolver?
