Here is the deal. I did have some trouble with extraction when I first got the gun (S&W M-28), but I polished the chambers with emery cloth and the problem seemed to go away. Tonight I had to polish the chambers again. I tried a handful of handloads and the first cylinder full were most disagreeable. The next cylinder full came out OK, as did the cylinder full of factory loads I tried for comparison.
My handloads were very mild so there is no way they were causing the sticking.
Is it possible that a little bit of corrosion could have build up in the gun in the last two weeks?
I have had revolvers before, but this has never happened to me.
I will admit that I was less than perfect with them several times, even skipping cleanings because I knew that I was just gonna get it dirty again next week anyway.
Are the tolerances on my M-28 that tight?
