Must all have highly polished chambers and using CCI primers
I never had any trouble with it in my 28-2 from '75. Have you checked your throats for diameter? Could be under a thou or two. Worth checking, since Smith has varied throats in most of their other guns over the years a little. I haven't tried it in my 27-2 yet, but I am planning on it since I have quite a few of those bullets to load up yet.
