So there I am shooting my 681... I cut my teeth with this gun way back and it has been knock down reliable ever since. We'll imagine my surprise when the cylinder would occasionally bind up upon a trigger pull; causing the very smooth trigger pull to be very hard to pull... I dumped out the spent brass and I looked at the gun and chalked it up to it's been sitting for a while and maybe it's just gummy inside.
Well I break out my 640 that I carried as a backup when I carried the 681 and shooting the same ammo resulted in the same dilemma.
Switching back to the 681 when it did it again I examined the round next up and found that the bullets were pulling from the brass. I was using Remington .357mag 125 grain semi jacketed hollow point from the white and green box. None of the ammo had a crimp or role mark on it so chalk it up to buying bargain ammo even from the big companies.
