I had a Taurus Model 415 2" Stainless .41 Magnum. Five shot, ported barrel, a true hand cannon; with certain types of commercially reloaded ammo (primarily lead bullets) the recoil was sufficient to cause a lightly (read not crimped enough) crimped bullet to move forward in the case enough to cause the cylinder to not rotate. At first I thought the cartridge OAL was too long but without shooting I could cycle the cylinder by hand. It didn't happen often but when it did it was a show stopper.
My nickle plated 4" Model 58 doesn't do that at all!
