I've had serious problems with that ammo lately binding all my 617's, the Browning has been swelling up near the rim and then starts binding the cylinder making it hard to pull the hammer and trigger. Also many dud rounds with Browning.

The Winchester (especially the 222 packs I've been getting) sticks so bad in the cylinder that I have to tap the extractor with something. I have 3 617's and never had that problem with other ammo.

I will never buy that ammo again for use in my 617's.

Just a thought.
