It may be irrelevant in your case since the rounds won't even chamber easily BEFORE firing but I recently chose to spend $35 at the local gunsmith on a Model 29 that had been fed too many .44 Specials and not thoroughly cleaned enough. I did not have a super-aggressive Stainless CHAMBER brush at the time and gave up on IOSSO cream and lesser brushes after something around three hours scrubbin'. My carbon problem would allow chambering but difficult extraction of Fired cases and was HARD to see even for the dealer with the naked eye. Should have tried a new, stiff Stainless CHAMBER brush from both ends of the cylinder in retrospect. Still learnin'....
