I ran into some frustrating issues with my SP101 in .327 mag. After firing maybe 1-2 cylinders of .327 ammo, cases are nearly impossible to eject and all empty cases are completely coated with powder residue.
measuring the spent cases with calipers found the 2/3 of the case closest to mouth ballooned somewhat over the 1/3 just ahead of the rim.
a little online research found that some other .327 Sp101 owners had guns with oversized chambers. I’m wondering if my gun is also afflicted.
I’m also having problems with light primer strikes, the trigger not returning from the fired position, and double action pull becoming near impossible after 18 or so rounds.
I’m kind of surprised. I’ve owned ruger revolvers in the past and they were flawlessly reliable.
