The fired Brass looks Normal. Has anyone else seen this before. Is this condition repairable.................Lew

THAT IS A SIMPLE REPAIR THAT REQUIRES A NEW BUSHING. I WOULD CALL S&W FOR A SHIPPING LABEL, AND SEND IT IN.....
IMHO---THAT DAMAGE WAS NOT CAUSED BY FIRING ONE PARTICULAR ROUND. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS INCURRED OVERTIME. I WOULD QUESTION THE INTEGRITY OF THE PRIMERS THAT YOU ARE USING---OR PERHAPS THE SEATING OF THEM BY YOUR PRESS.....
