I'm not sure of the correct language, but I'm wondering if the cylinder holes can be bored to slightly different diameters. The reason why I ask, is that I had my new SP101 out to the range again today. I had 50 rounds of all lead Blazer 38 Special, and 50 rounds of Winchester 110 grain semi-jacketed hollowpoints. I fired 50 rounds of the Winchester without any problems, and then switched over to the Blazer. I fired the box of 50 Blazer, and switched by to the Winchester. Well, when I tried to load it with the Winchester, all 5 of the rounds refused to drop all the way into the cylinder. I used a bore snake to clean, and all 5 still didn't seat completely. I ran the bore snake through a bunch more, and 3 of the 5 rounds would seat, but two still did not go all the way in. I could give them a push and the two would seat completely. I then fired those five rounds, and the cases did not want to eject. I didn't want to bend the ejector rod, so I pulled them out with my fingers. It was very hard to do, so I assume this is just a build up of lead from firing the Blazer 38 Special.
Is it unusual for this to happen only after 50 rounds? I've since cleaned the gun with solvent, and all 5 Winchester rounds now seat easily.
