Model 60 357 mag not ejecting 38 special

[Highhawk1948]

I bought a model 60-15. I loaded it with 38 plus p's. When I go to eject the cartridges one or two will fall behind the star ejector. I'm ejecting loaded cartridges not empties. Tried several different bands of 38. Continued to have the same problem. Do not have the problem with 357 magnum cartridges. Any suggestions as to a fix?

correct way to eject empties is to turn revolver upside down and push ejector
rod smartly. empties will leave the gun quickly and completely.

The ejector is long, the cases are short and can tilt slightly. Follow the advice above and you should have no problems.

The following is from the National Handgun Safety Course:

To unload a double-action revolver:

Point the muzzle up and in a safe direction.
Keep your finger outside the trigger guard.
Release the cylinder latch to allow the cylinder to swing out from the frame.
Push the ejector rod downward, forcing out the fired cases.
Make sure the gun is empty by visually checking both the chamber and the cylinder.

Do you know if it's the same chambers each time? There may be a problem with the ejector star or the chambers themselves. If it is the same ones over and over, perhaps a trip to the home office is needed.

Thanks for your replies. It is the same chamber each time. I will contact SW.
