By reaming the chambers with a 32 H&R finishing reamer, you will shave the chambers slightly for their full length. You just may find that it straightens the chamber walls enough to prevent the cases from bulging and sticking upon extraction. You've got nothing to lose and a lot to gain if it works.
That's a great suggestion, I assumed that the cylinder was toast. It is worth a try.
IIRC,the brass was asymmetrically bulging in the center. I'll go find that brass to be sure.
Thanks.
