Thanks folks. I appreciate the replies. I replied to the first two posts yesterday but it seems that my computer or the web site ate my homework Or perhaps it needs to be moderated first (?) Anyhow let me try again.

I examined the cylinder closely this morning (I should have before making the original post). The CYLINDER holes are in fact chamfered very slightly. The ejector star is NOT chamfered. I suspect that the ejector is what ate the coating off my new Dewey cleaning rod

The only ammo I am having a real problem with is some Winchester bulk pack hollow point stuff which I have in my stash. It will not feed reliably in my Compass Lake Engineering AR conversions either. I guess I will relegate this ammo to my Ruger single action revolver and 10/22s. Just like Mikey in the cereal commercial "they will eat anything." I only have a couple thousand rounds of the stuff

Thanks again,

Ken

p.s. Let me see if this reply posts
