Oops, sorry I never answered until now, but I'm not getting my notifications lately. The revolver is a 2.625" 627 PC. I seem to have trouble with the Hornady XTP's pulling crimp, but never my cast bullet loads. It happened (for the third time) a couple weeks ago and I just pressed down on the bullet nose with my thumb and it eased back down into the case enough to allow the cylinder to rotate. It only happens with the short barreled 627...yet I don't think I am "limp wristing" it. I think it is just a case of a short, sharp recoil impulse causing bullets to pull crimp. The same bullets work fine in my 4" barrel 586. It is only a problem because I concealed carry the 627 fairly often. The fix is to stick with my cast bullet loads...they work flawlessly. I suppose I could work on getting a better crimp on my handloads, but TBH after 3 lockups I just don't trust JHP's.
