I then loaded a cylinder of Underwood Extreme Penetrator 220grain 1530fps and they shot really well, but would not eject. Took considerable effort to get them out. I did shoot more Magtechs afterwards and they came out just fine. Today I took some calipers to the Underwood casings and there was about .007" bulge approximately .200" from the primer end of the casing, and the primers were pretty flattened. Is this an issue with my cylinders? Is this an issue with the Underwood ammo?
Also, when cleaning, I noticed that the cylinder tapers are extremely well defined on my revolvers cylinder bores. Looks like some tooling marks. It's uniform on all 6 chambers. I was just wondering if that typical or, again, I might have some QC issues with my cylinder. Thank's all.
